It won't work at all. The lowest voltage the Tesla on-board charger will accept is 120 volts....and that gives you a laughable 2 miles of range per hour of charging.200 amps @ 25 volts is pretty close to 48 amps (maximum Tesla charge rate) at 100 volts. So it takes a little longer. Big deal.
You're wrong, but not worth the trouble to explain it to you.It won't work at all. The lowest voltage the Tesla on-board charger will accept is 120 volts....and that gives you a laughable 2 miles of range per hour of charging.
Better turn your seat heater off.
Meanwhile, playing along with your silly fantasy, are you going to put your Lincoln in your Tesla, tow your truck with the Tesla, or tow your Tesla with your truck?
I know how electricity works, Skippy. The Tesla on-board charger will not accept less than 120 volts AC. It just won't work.You're wrong, but not worth the trouble to explain it to you.

You probably think that if a recipe calls for 350 degrees for one hour, you can bake it at 7,000 degrees for 3 minutes.
You are such an ignorant ass. You can get high power generator units that have welding outlets as well as 120, 240, and 480 volt outlets.I know how electricity works, Skippy. The Tesla on-board charger will not accept less than 120 volts AC. It just won't work.

In a controlled test, that's a far cry from real world application. It also ignores the human factor. People generally do not sit in silence for hours on end without some distraction. Most would instinctively turn on the radio or use and charge their phone, or use the wipers to see outside.The current required to heat the seat has been verified by the manufacturer, along with the battery capacity, and rate of discharge at specific current rates. It's just a math problem from that point.
In a Tesla, you automatically turn on the computer when operating any systems in the vehicle. But you are still only talking about less than 1/2 kwh per hour if you use the seat heaters.In a controlled test, that's a far cry from real world application. It also ignores the human factor.

The point of a EV is that it is a better choice to power vehicles, no matter what source is used to supply the electricity. The fact that some of the electricity can be generated without fossil fuels, and that amount will increase with technology is a bonus. The maximum charge rate for a Tesla is 48 amps. I have a 30 year old Lincoln welding machine that will run all day on 16 gallons of gas, is rated at 200 amps, and easily fits in my pickup.
All true, and with a standard car battery that has a little more than 1 kWh at full charge that could quickly become a problem, but with a Tesla battery that has 80.5 kilowatt hours capacity, it's not really such a big deal.In a controlled test, that's a far cry from real world application.

Well no. I just mentioned one currently available fix for the unlikely problem of an EV stranded with a low battery. As EVs become more common, it's not hard to imagine that manufacturers will include a port for one EV to give another one a quick boost without the need to carry all those cans of gasoline. Such a port will certainly be included on vehicles used for road side service. Think of it as high powered jumper cables.Again, this basically defeats the purpose.
And ICE vehicle is still superior to an EV. There is zero reason for any government to ban the sale of ICE vehicles if as the prophets predict, EV's are the "wave of the future"

No need to give a lengthy full charge just to get them going to a charging station. With all the research on batteries, it's not hard to see that charging times will be greatly reduced.That take 3 hours to "jump"

The Tesla Model S Plaid Is the Quickest-Charging EV We've Tested
The Plaid can accept 250 kW for five minutes, helping it to beat the previous Model S's charging speed by nearly 20 percent.
Yes. There are hurdles to cross, but no reason to believe those problems can't be solved. Just look how fast things have developed recently. If you aren't convinced enough to buy one right now, then don't buy one. There are, and will be plenty of gasoline powered cars on the road for quite a while.Where right now unless you get to the most modern chargers, you are still sitting there for hours.

Really? Which law says you can't drive a fossil fuel vehicle past 2035? When was that law passed?Still, if EV's are the "wave of the future" why are Cali and NY (where I live) telling me it's EV's or nothing in 2035?

So you can't name the law because there isn't one. A governor's executive order might last until 2035 if conditions continue to indicate it is still worthwhile, but if they don't indicate that, any governor between now and then can change it. Even Newsome, if he is still Governor, can change it if it's not practical. Of course, California can pass any law they want, at any time, regardless of Newsome's executive order. I suspect it will remain intact, because it seems to make sense, but your hair on fire reaction that it is written in stone is pretty silly.Can't buy a new one after 2035, and you know that's what the laws in NY and Cali say, so stop trying to be slick.
Again, if EV's are the wave of the future, why can't I buy a new one after 2035 in NY and Cali?
