A good run in a Tesla Model S P85 should be about 12.4 seconds.
A good run in a P85D should be about 11.7 seconds.

Researchers used real-time x-ray and thermal imaging cameras to watch
inside a laptop cell during failures. Not much technical data in this
for the public report, but there are some interesting pictures and video.
It is actually 14.4 kWh from 110V/12A. Most people have 15A circuits and
shouldn't draw more than 12A.
When I first got my Tesla, I was charging on 110V and having some trouble
keeping up. My normal commute is 50 miles round trip, plus side trips. The
Tesla has about 250-300 wh per mile.
The assumption of what nearly everyone needs in a day is based on
averages, right?
Averages are built from data ranging from minimums to maximums. But real
range needs are based on maximums. So it would be erroneous to assume
that averages define the actual range needs of most people.

Good points about the importance of low weight and improved CD,
Lawrence. If the Tesla Model 3 can be more efficient than the Model S,
that would help get the price down from Model S levels while still
maintaining their desired range. Carrying fewer batteries would help
further with the

Charging associated with hotels seems like a good idea for road trips.
For day-to-day local use, do you primarily drive an EV where you use L1
charging at home or are you talking theoretically?
I'm coming from a perspective of practical experience with an electric
car as our main vehicle.

I'd agree with that. And I hope I'm not coming across as suggesting that
in-home L1 charging is the only way that an EV would ever be charged.
My point is that most people don't
The normal verbiage used is average and you are correct (I think) in pointing
out that if a BEV is to be your only vehicle you might want to look at average
plus 2 standard deviations which would cover 95% of your travels and leave only
5% needing to use public transit or a rental vehicle. In

All I can tell you is that from our experience, L2 is not rapid
charging, it's normal charging. Whereas when you have somewhere to go
soon, L1 is punishment charging.
There are places where L1 works well, for example at an airport where
the car is going to sit for days. And no doubt there
Small, light, efficient, yes. Bring 'em on!
We also live in a small town, but it's in the middle of a large metro
area. Not surprisingly, with that and other considerations our driving
needs are different. We couldn't make a go of it here with just L1 and
the LEAF. But with home 6.6kW L2
So I take it you aren't driving an electric car and using L1 at home to
do all or most of your driving?
For us it isn't hypothetical or theoretical. And for anyone, please be
clear that a typical day is not a relevant metric for range requirements.
It's the outliers that you have to

To give an illustration of how high the need is for fast charging:
I have at least 3 L2 chargers since 2 years and I have not installed any of
them yet,
since overnight L1 charging is more than I need for my daily driving needs.
Of course, I plan to install at least one L2 station later this year
