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.
And charges way more!?!?
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.
