[QUOTE="Fat Boss, post: 16579882, member: 122645"] I think that's a separate issued all together. By the time they stop selling gas powered cars, the range on electrics will be significantly longer than today. There are limits for sure. The amount of available amps on one's breaker panel will be a limiting factor. I'm going to install a Clipper Creek American made charger that takes an 80 amp breaker, delivering sustained 64 amps to a car- even though my Mach-E will only be able to accept 48 amps, to get some future proofing. The 64 amps that the new charger will deliver gives about 40 miles of range per hour of charging. Math tells us to get to say 500 miles of range, that would be 11.5 hours of charging at that level. Frankly, I don't want to ever drive more than 500 in a single day, which is right about the distance from my house to Las Vegas. But the rub is the loss of range due to cold weather. Even though it's about 63* outside where I live right now, I understand some areas of the country are a little colder. If you lose 40% of your range due to temp, then add a bunch of hours to that charge time. DC Fast Charging is a game changer, but there are a lot of limitations on how much the battery will accept at that level of power input. It really will boil down to improving the power grid, and using utility scale batteries to level the load. There's an enormous market there, and companies will jump in to take advantage of it. It's the American way. [/QUOTE]
