hahahaha...
up here , go into the 'general pool of money'..disappears real fast, spent years before it goes in...
IF taxes went in the correct account ( road taxes into a roads account..) they'd be accountable and stuff WOULD get done..but can't have that now can we !

Audi says they can recharge their EV in 10 minutes to get 186 miles(300Km) of ride back in them. Go from 5 to 80% charge in their 100Kw ,800 volt, battery pack.
Once again '80% '.... NEVER a real, FULL charge.....

Tesla tells owners the same thing actually, dont charge 100 percent. Not sure why but i was told that when a family member bought 1.

why ? It's a 'scam'.. Post the REAL time AND cost for a FULL charge and nobody would buy them. Simple.
problem is getting that last 20% of electrons into the battery isn't another few seconds for a few pennies.
'They' know you can FILL a car/truck up with gas/diesel in less than 10 minutes and have to say something 'similar' to get you to think 'gee, EV is OK for me !!'
The other show of the scam is they post mileage based on a FULLY charge battery,say 300 miles BUT they recharge to 80% and that's ONLY 240 miles, best case(no A/C,defrost, 0 payload, etc.)

Not suprising. The dealer made it seem to my sister that it would incrase battery life. She bought a model Y. Out the door 65000.00
There are still a lot of cars, even hybrids that cost way less. She wanted 1 though.

It's because if they fast charged to 100% it would kill the batteries. You can fast charge these types of batteries up to 80%, then you have to drop the charge down to a trickle so the battery management system can balance out the charge across all the cells. After 80% it is very easy for one cell to become over charged, which kills it, which then causes a cascade effect spreading to surrounding cells. That additional 20% could take one or several hours depending on the balance of all the cells. The pack is made up of hundreds of 3.8 volt cells.
On another note, apparently for some, if not most people, gas prices do not matter, they will still waste it. I took a trip last weekend to Tennessee to pick up a Tar River SAYA 505 pulling my small flatbed. I was doing 72 and being passed like I was doing 50. Not just by small cars, but by pickups and SUV's that guzzle gas.
As long as there are fools like that wasting gas, prices will stay high since they do nothing to conserve it.

There is inadequate infastructure to support EVs now and there are no plans to support a 100% EV fleet.
It's all about limiting travel.

I KNOW about the battery tech and charging and stuff(I get daily updates on 'chips and techniques'..). My point is they 'skirt' the issue, turn it around, to make it LOOK like EVs 'recharge in 10 minutes' by NOT specifically saying it is NOT A FULL charge.
Hix Bros Tractor in Tennessee is good dealer. I assume thats where you went.

I have a drone with a similar type of battery. Those batteries should be kept charged at about 50%, if put away with a full charge they have a controller that will slowly discharge the battery to the proper storage level. I wonder if the EV's have such a system. I also wonder how much is lost over time from natural self discharge, it may be small but it should be public information.
