Yep - I just priced driving lessons for my son here in the UK - ~$3,600.

An electric voiture, available in a sans permis version

For 135kW and 145kW chargers fast chargers, Tesla is leading atm.

The Qashqai and Juke platforms were Nissan platforms which Renault did not, afaict, re-use.

That CCS adaptor is European-market only.  Tesla have no plans announced for a US-market CCS adaptor.

It’s accurate. High Power Charging is 150kW and up. Tesla has announced plans to have Supercharger V3 rolled out, but the actual build-out is on Tesla time.

The charging network is now almost only valuable as a marketing item - as a charging network it will need to get converted over to CCS, long term. Just like Tesla have *already* done with it in Europe.

Tesla does not have a CCS to Tesla adapter.
Tesla has a Chademo to Tesla adapter. And Tesla has cars which are equipped with onboard CCS, instead of onboard Tesla.

It’s true. Proprietary solutions - where you control the charging standard, the design and build of the chargers, and the design and build of the vehicles - work more elegantly than the early iterations of open solutions - where many manufacturers and designers have to get together, from both the charger-side and the…

There is a standard charging interface.
It’s used by Tesla in Europe, as well as Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Mercedes, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, and has been adopted by Ford, FCA and the rest of GM for forthcoming models.

Tesla has three high-power chargers on line.  EA has 2,000.

“This is only a debate if you think some abstract idea of individual “personal liberty” supercedes other people’s personal liberties”

I positively think that you are missing the point.  Probably deliberately.

Do you think that is necessary to stick your mouth on a Tahoe’s tailpipe to breath in its emissions?

Do you think “causes fewer serious health problems” can be one of the measurements of “better”?

It sounds like they’ve tried that. I think they should have tried harder.

They have plenty of experience of batteries, motors and airflow.

We have robots for speed trap duty nowadays.

Except that the fast-charging networks became on a par about 4 months ago.

The seating height on the I-Pace is very sedan. 

The I-Pace can come with adaptive cruise, lane-keeping self-steering, and automatic parking. What semi-automated driving modes does teh Volvo have that the I-Pace doesn’t?
