Does anyone think we'll be able to buy a portable EVSE? Or even a simple 240v extension cord with J1772 connector (and would that even work?)?

No, we're talking about the bottom right hand quadrant of that chart shown in the picture. It shows 50mph on the equivalent of an "A" road in the UK - a two or three lane highway with slowing for (and acceleration from) roundabouts (traffic circles) used for traffic management.
garygid said:The 6kW figure for A/C seems quite excessive.
Maybe it is really 6 amps at 330v = 2kW?
The A/C for my 2400 sq-ft, two-story house uses slightly less than that!
First, I was very confused (probably due to merged threads) until I found "the picture".

The picture above shows 78km at 81km/h (49 miles at 50 mph), right?
The 65 mph range, with some hills, might be ??? ...
significantly less than 49 miles?

Edit: Does anyone want to guess how fast the car is going based on the motor using 30-35kw of energy? I'm going to go out on a limb and say ~40mph.
Nubo said:Something doesn't add up in that picture. If the motor is drawing 35kW, the 24kWH battery would be depleted in less than 45 minutes, Add the apparent 7kW for climate control and "other", and you've got about a 1/2 hour. And yet it claims 120km of range. So, the car is travelling 160 miles per hour.
Nubo said:That is not an actual in-use picture unless the car was undergoing some momentary heavy acceleration. and 6kW for climate control? Holy crap! I think it's just someone's PowerPoint only meant to illustrate the single point "how to extend driving range by managing use of AC/heater"

The car's maximum speed is supposedly 90 mph. Presumably, at that speed, the motor would be consuming pretty close to the maximum amount of power available to it (~80kw). This is why I assumed a cruising speed of ~40 mph.
