2023? You’d been able to do it for at least a decade before then

Yep - I've lost count of the number of times people have told me to my face that what I do every day is impossible

Love it - great product modelling too :)
Wish I could get there, but the US is just a it much at the moment

I went to find out more, and it looks like their website enigmaquartet.com has expired

Is there an attempted murder charge incoming?

We were definitely stuffing up 50 years ago, and for orders of magnitude more money
About 50 years ago (1973), Skylab rattled itself apart on launch and managed to be cobbled together into a partial success until it fell on Australia

They know about the “power of buying two”?

I think he addressed that - because it's much cheaper to charge off-peak, so sometimes you won't charge completely each session before the off-peak period ends.
I do the same-but-opposite here where I charge from my solar during the day, but stop at 3pm as the feed-in price goes up then.

Yep - so basically the same as an EV, but much more expensive

Over the time owning my EV, I have spent FAR less time waiting to "fill up" that I ever did with my previous petrol/diesel cars - it's just not a thing

I'm chill - My point is it would be very rare for you to completely drain the battery in that hypothetical EV4, so it doesn't matter if it takes 2 days - you can still drive the car after a few hours on the first day. My counterpoint is it doesn't matter "how much power is in cars"

Which "mid range" EV has a 97.5kWh battery? We drive every day based on a similar amount of solar production with 2 EVs - It's not the problem you think it is - in fact - we restrict the cars to charging before 3pm because that's when we get paid most for feeding the grid

Tesla is more than Elon - There are a bunch of awesome people working there making awesome products

Heh - your story sent me digging for a photo - we used to use a hub for precisely that purpose in production - www.instagram.com/p/DFHPNYuPAPQ
