Wasn’t Bob Lutz pimping a car based on the Karma chassis?

Contrary to all the implications, this is and has been a sponsorship deal. It went from Arrow sponsorship (which Zac was involved in making happen) to a sponsorship from Arrow under specific conditions (those conditions being involvement from McLaren in running the show).

I keep having a mental image going through my head. It goes like this:

The Offy.

Old Drag cars are junk drag cars.  NHRA teams throw their chassis away frequently because they twist so damn much.

You are installing a new service either way. The existing supply is designed for the existing demand. It isn’t as if that demand goes away. Plus, that demand will be in use when this is intended to be used.... overnight.

This story always cracks me up: https://jalopnik.com/this-could-have-been-you-gm-1839928376

Parked my Bolt right next to a a Mazda CX-3 the other day. Don’t tell me the Bolt isn’t a compact SUV. IT IS ALMOST IDENTICAL to the Mazda, in dimensions.

How many cup holders does it have?

Putting 20-30 miles of range on my Bolt while I have dinner is just about useless “in an urban environment”. Building a charging mechanism on that doesn’t make sense.

The headline read “British startup may have solved urban EV charging”. This idea hasn’t solved anything and this startup will be out of business in a year. EV charging in urban environments doesn’t need to be “more expensive” and “more complicated” with “higher installation costs”. It needs to be faster, because Slow …

Overnight slow charging is a poor solution for people like you. Greater distribution of L3 Chargers is the solution for that.

Okay, forget winter. How about when it rains? If the seal is compromised, and it will because it will be filled with dirt, rain is going to pour into an electrical system.  You know, like it does into the storm drains.

Installed cost is not “far cheaper”. Running 7 220V lines to 7 different spots to feed L2 Chargers is on par with running 1 3-phase 480v line for one L3 Charger.

You are just going overboard with the snark these days Bradley, and it is effecting your work. Yes. This is for overnight charging. Overnight charging is stupid unless you have a garage... so making a system for overnight charging like that is stupid. If you don’t, You are much better off being able to charge…

Exactly.

I read the article.  Overnight charging for “public” chargers is not practice.  Fast charging a 240 mile range EV in much more practical from a public charger standpoint than overnight.  Overnight only makes sense at a residence.  Overnight public charging can’t be counted on.

Is installing 7 7kW Charger more expensive than installing 1 50kW Charger?
