And putting the LEAF charger in perspective:
Tesla Roadster: 3.5 hours 0%-100% (And yes, my home EVSE could charge it that fast)
Volt: 4 hours 0%-100%
Focus Electric: 4 hours 0%-100%
Smart ED: 5? hours 0%-100% (Need to check with Mindy or Wallace)
Tesla Model S Signature (300 mi): 6.5 hours 0%-100%
Nissan LEAF:
7.5 hours 0%-100%
Now, the Volt, LEAF and Smart ED all have 3.3kW chargers but the Volt and Smart packs are about 16kWh and we know the LEAF has 24kWh so it takes much longer to charge. The Tesla typically wouldn't need to go from 0%-100% because that represents a lot of driving in one day. So I should think the average commuter could fit even the 300 mi, 95kWh Tesla Model S pack in the 4 hour window of Dominion's Super Off Peak rate.
And again, it's a) the inconvenient charge time computer b) the 4 hour charge window being breached c) the emergency charge being only L2 at the moment and that being ham-strung by a mere 11 or so miles per hour of charging at even my conservative 4.0 mi/kWh driving style. It's all documented with use cases in my recent post to which I linked above and I understand that many folks could just shout
so what, it's not my problem but it is mine and I live the issue daily so for me it's salient, real and quite urgent.
A shame the Focus doesn't have any trunk space.
