130 kWh but how fast is fast charging? To charge it in an hour theoretically would take 130 kw (ignoring that pesky 2nd law) in 1/2 an hour twice that ie 260kw that’s roughly 600amps at 440 volts. We’re talking small industrial manufacturing facility sized demand for just one of the things. Suppose you have a dozen or more charging at any one time. The charging station would need its own substation to service that many 600 amp 440 volt draws. And where is the power coming from? Not from wind and solar. It’s cloudy and raining here and the wind isn’t blowing a combination which is not at all rare, and it was calm last night too. Oops no wind and solar then either.

Fast charging kills the battery and when will they provide all battery info with the push of a button because how the owners uses the car will effect the battery big time
