Double the battery and double the speed for the same price?
Yeah that sounds believable. Reminds me of the original price estimates for the Lightyear One.
I guess they're really banking on the part where they rent it out for double the price.
edit: spec sheet doesn't seem to pass even a cursory sniff test:
> Nimbus One - 9 kWh (swappable)
> Charge Time (0-95%) Under 5.5 hours from a standard household plug
This is an american product so a standard household plug is 15A, NEC doesn't allow continuous loads (>3h) to exceed 80%, so you get 12A to play with. At 120V that's 1440W, which means 6 hours (5:56 specifically) to charge the battery to 95% assuming the battery can handle full power for that entire range.
They clearly aren't talking about a 20A circuit as by my reckoning that'd charge in a hair under 4:30.
