Wonder what kind of side effects you have from sitting on a one ton battery?

How much of charge can he get in 10 minuets, over night?

I’ve been doing the same sort of calculations on solar panels for my roof. (I live in SW Florida). It’s getting very close to being worthwhile for a direct connect to the grid without storage batteries.
The EV isn’t close and the current power grid isn’t within years of being able to handle the additional load. The rooftop solar doesn’t require massive building and actually helps with the problem. I’ll probably install some solar next year.

I always wonder what these peoples’ electric bills look like? It has to be insane.

The current gen of EVs are not really ready for primetime. Battery tech needs to get a lot better. Lighter, faster charge, greater capacity. But all that will take a major breakthrough and could be a looong time until it comes about.
The biggest impediment, in my opinion, is the weight. EVs weigh twice what a regular car does and the infrastructure isn't designed for that sort of load. If we all started driving them tomorrow the roads would probably fall apart and parking decks and probably some bridges would have to close or heavily regulate the number of cars allowed at once because they'd be unsafe when full.

Makes sense.
They are heavy for their size.
And if you use the acceleration performance that is available, that’s hard on the tires too.

I checked on TireRack and that size runs $350 to $450 per tire.
So $1600 or so a set.
