It seems a shame to me that T are ditching the 40kWh version (assuming this is
not an April Fool joke). I would have the 40kWh version over the others as it
costs less and its range is more than adequate for my needs. In fact why one
would want any more is beyond me... assuming a nation-wide, 60 mile spaced
supercharger network. Drive for 2 hours, rest/charge for 30 mins... That way
you don't have to haul around all that unused battery capacity 95% of the time.
Much improved efficiency.
The only reason I was opting for the 60kWh version is down - pure and simply -
to the fact that it comes with the supercharger and I was under the impression
that the 40kWh version was not compatible with the supercharger, and therefore
not available - rather than just being an option as I have read in the press.
Perhaps others were confused on this and that's why no-one wanted the 40kWh
version?
