They are new Priuses. Sure they can accelerate in straight line much faster... and that's about it.
Colleague has model S, the most powerful plug he can have in his Swiss home can charge 9km of normal ride per hour (forget hills or generally cold weather like we have now till April). So overnight he is happy if he gets enough charge to go to work and back. I can't imagine living with constant range anxiety like that, since he has only this car.
Sure there is 150KWh charger somewhere out there, so now he needs to plan trips specifically to top up, with some waiting included.
- robin_reala 3y agoThe Tesla wall charger will charge at up to 22kW/h.[1] Assuming it’s the biggest Tesla Model S battery at 100kWh capacity (and a linear charge rate which obviously isn’t true) that’d mean that he’d be able to finish charging in ~4.5 hours, and then drive 40km given your 9km/h figure. Even if it was a more normal 11 or 7kW/h charger it’d still have him driving 80km or 125km, neither of which is anywhere near what a Tesla should be capable of.

- vladvasiliu 3y agoI don't know about Switzerland, but here in France, if you don't have electrical heating, it's quite uncommon to have more than a 6kW line to your home. And you can't easily get a fatter pipe. My parents' house has a 6kW line and could maybe get 9, but very likely not above.
