Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

The most eye-stealing highlight is the Flash Charging technology, which works in conjunction with the latest Blade Battery 2.0. 

– Charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes. 
– To charge to 97%, it only takes 9 minutes. 
– Even in temperatures as low as -30°C, it can still be fast-charged in 12 minutes.

I'll wait until Toyota copies this technology.

They know we don't have the infrastructure to support it. That's why they're sticking to hybrid/plug in hybrid.

I recently bought a new Toyota and signed up for all their post purchase marketing (to complain!).

A lot of the questions revolve around excess electrical energy and how you'd want that to interact with your vehicle. With an emphasis on creative ways to use the battery for extravehicular activities.

I don't see much of a future where any regulated market sticks around and Republicans have been irritated by various bills to regulate ISPs.

Whole house generators are big business where I am.

It sort of makes sense on a communism vs american ideological map.

Electric hovervilles (trump towns, I guess) sound cool though.

Do you mean the power grid can't support it? Or rather we dont' have enough chargers?
Because if a car can get charged to full in less than 10 minutes, it wouldn't cost much to install such chargers at your corner gas station.

I'd rather spend more for a brand I know will not only last many years, but also won't explode or fold up like a card table if I get in an accident.
