Do the math...it would still take 10 hours to charge, even through that cord (at 240 Volts).

Their fast-charge system is in another dimension and I wouldn’t recommend getting anywhere near the vehicle while it’s having that much power applied to it.

A full charge of 85 kwh in one hour means 85 kilowatts going into the car.

My all-electric house, with air conditioner, water heater, dryer, oven, and stove with all elements on "high" simultaneously only pulls 20 kw (I tried it once as an experiment).

Nope, don't wanna be anywhere near that thing on fast-charge.
