FWIW, most people with a home/condo (vs. maybe an apartment), just get a 50a circuit , an N6-50/N14-50 receptacle installed, then plug in a 40a charger and get MUCH faster charging at home. The LR/P Tesla Model 3s will do ~37 miles an hour at that rate. Get home, plugin, most daily commutes are handled with a couple of hours of charging.Someone asked about charging the Mach E. 1 hour on a standard charger gives 8 miles.
LMAOJust add this mod and you will be all set....

Why? It's still a mechanical device that will need maintenance. You still have brakes, tires, suspension, steering, etc., all of which will wear down over time. But you'll also have to have newly trained people in a new technology. That costs money, which will be passed on to the consumer. I believe that servicing an EV vehicle will cost more than a conventional, particularly when it comes to the electronics. You'll need specially trained people for that.I predict eventual job losses and salary reductions in the car repair business as a result of electrification of the automotive industry.
IDK, but what happens when it's raining/snowing outside, and you have to plug in or unplug? Is there a risk of electrocution? Just wondering.Get home, plugin, most daily commutes are handled with a couple of hours of charging.
Modular building processes. A front suspension module, Electronics module, rear suspension module, drivetrain modules Etc. It breaks and a min wage worker swaps the module and sends the bad one (If passes inspection) off for refurbishment and back to the repair cycle again.Why?

Hello; I use to go camping at campgrounds with electric service at the campsites. I would run extension cords around to places. The cords were out in the rain. Never had an issue. This was decades ago so my guess is the connections can be smarter now.IDK, but what happens when it's raining/snowing outside, and you have to plug in or unplug? Is there a risk of electrocution?

Not how any of that works, not even close. Airplanes are fairly modular, do want a min wage technician working on your next flight swapping boxes out?Modular building processes.

Corporations, economics and profit seeking will always drive lower costs. The simplicity of EV’s I believe will drive simplified repair processes.Not how any of that works, not even close. Airplanes are fairly modular, do want a min wage technician working on your next flight swapping boxes out?
