I am gonna wait for electrical cars powered by fusion cells with hydrogen, the small cells will provide the power for 10 years for a 10000 horse power motor no matter the distance driving, doing 0 to 60 in less than a second at an average of 200 miles per hour. Lawrence Livermore labs are working hard on that, stay tuned.

I live in China where EV revolution started early. Now many of my friends are going back to gasoline cars. bought a Tesla, drove for 2 years, now bought a BMW. Charging is still too much hassle.

Sounds like Elon Musk reincarnated, says we will have fully autonomous self-driving cars next year, that was almost 6 years ago and we're nowhere close

Oh great, another misleading tactic like 1" sensors and 4 cameras

Of course, it's misleading, it's misleading on pretty much every battery operated device - you do not charge your phone's 120W 0-100% do you?
One of the reasons why raw numbers in EV are pretty much useless, but people, usually clueless people, like to see big numbers. Moar megapixels! Moar I say!
I like my EVs efficient while driving and with incredibly good battery cooling management / AC for cabin.
"I do not need 110 kWh battery bulldozer EV, you need 70 kWh of efficiency. "

Coulda sworn this was written by Tom Mologhony from State of Charge. He does a very thorough job documenting charge rates and ranges and explains very similar things in his YouTube channel.
