Just stop, that number is typically assuming a level three rated charger (which are wildly rare) and it is not 80% it is no less than 20% to 80%l. As some of those trucks went below 20% the charge time even on a level three is much longer.

That is the classic lie told about these EVs and charging. Always obfuscating the facts with partial data to make it look much better than what it really is.

Did you miss the part about a 3 hour charge in the article when the truck was at 1.6%?

Did you see the charging times in the article? One truck was on charge for 3 hours.

80% of 900kw in 45 minutes?

It has a 1000v architecture so some math...

900kwh @ 1000v = 900amps feeder.

That’s a big cord. 9 x 100amp connections? 3 x 300?

I’d really like to know how they do that.

Disclaimer - I just had a total knee replacement and am bit foggy right due to the pain meds...
