How long to charge it?

The photo of the car is a fake - here is the real thing:

Let me check my pockets.....yep. Just happen to have $140K in quarters. Gonna get me one before the apartment complex fills up with them

[fwdude]

But turn on the A/C or heater, and that range is less than half.

IF.... If true, then this may be a game changer... and then the next test is cold weather...

Considering that every one of my Mercedes failures during my just short of three year ownership (sold it for obvious reasons just before the much used warranty ended) was electric - and each and every one of them bricked the car, I’ll give German electrics a pass. A very very wide one. Electricity does not appear to be their friend.

So, how fast did it drive?🤔

[Tell It Right]

55 mph (621 miles divided by 11.3 hours). 621 miles is pretty impressive! Even if that's cut by 10% for driving 80 mph we're talking about 560 miles on a charge.

I wonder how much wattage is coming in from the solar panel? Hard to imagine it being more then 500 watts (with at best 5 peak solar hours in a day that's 2.5kWh). For reference, the Mach-e gets 2.4 miles per kWh. Even with the BMW topping that at 7.14 miles/kWh, I guess an extra 20 or so miles.

I guess it better be all that and a bag of chips with the yuge cost.

...and it only takes three weeks to recharge the batteries.

ANY use of heater, air conditioning, etc substantially reduces the mileage. We just drove from Sacramento to La Quinta and back. Air conditioning on most of the time. Witnessed high end electric SUVs plugged into charging. It took us a few minutes to POUR energy into our SUV. The electric SUV owners did not look too happy waiting, and waiting, and waiting. If they used the ‘fast’ charge, does the manual have a warning that it cuts into the total life of the battery?

[Pilated]

Big whoop, I will never want or drive ANYTHING electric on any roadway.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Pretty cool, but there isn’t enough cobalt, lithium, and rare earth metals for everyone to get an electric car. But then, the eco-nazis don’t want you to have a car.

[Travis McGee]

So after 400 miles, how long did it take to recharge for the next 400 miles?

On road trips, I commonly drive 1,000+ miles in a day, just stopping to gas up, grab fast food, and keep rolling.

[nicollo]

Nice car, but since each one uses up 1/3rd the world’s available lithium, they can only make three.

[clee1]

OK.... now make them for a $30K MSRP, have rapid charge stations frequently down major highways, and build 2 dozen more nuke plants, and they might have something there.

[Zathras]

I saw one a couple weeks ago.
Not bad looking.

my gasoline car goes and goes and goes- and only takes minutes to fill-

Probably all downhill from the Alps.
