Whoopsy:

Here is something telling about electric cars.

During the unveiling of the new Phantom VIII, Rolls Royce's chief Torsten Muller-Otvos said his brand will go electric in the next decade, as the current technology simply is inadequate. The charging needs to be an effortless situation as the wealthy clientele isn't in the mood to spend more than couple of minutes topping up batteries. 

Makes sense. It's the time cost that matters. For the average people making perhaps $20-$30 per hour, a 40 mins charing session is only costing them less than $30. For the better off, that 40 mins wait translates to hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Electric car charing needed to match gasoline cars' average stopover time in a gas station, which is 5 mins or less from empty to full, and that's the time acceptable to everyone. 

The Tesla's 400V system is doomed, 800V is the future, at that higher voltage is where quick charging can occurs. 

 

He's full of shit and BMW is just behind the game and he doesn't want to admit. What guy makes so much money that he can't be bother to do this but also doesn't have full time staff doing this.

It's a joke to think rich people's time is always money. RR clients have more free, leisurely time than the average person by far.

Any time a company says what their customers don't want to deal with at the moment, it's really just covering for what they can't provide because they're behind.
