One cannot control the n-number of ways metal bends in a crash. Woe the unsuspecting good Samaritan as he “grounds” the EV trying to provide help. How many volt-amps are they trying put in these cars?

“How many volt-amps are they trying put in these cars?”

It appears to be on the order of 85,000 - based on their claimed one hour charge. That’s still too low. A gas pump pushing unleaded can do the equivalent of 1,000,000 - which is why you can fill up in 5 minutes.

Volt amps is a measurement of power, not energy.

You don't store volt-amps, you store watt-hours.
