Maj John Bell - Tesla Superchargers taper the charge rate down as the battery fills up. They charge at max rate until the battery gets up to 40%-45%, then it begins to taper down. To go from 25% to 90% would take about 30-40 minutes, but it would take 50-60 minutes to go from 25% to 100%. If you're trying to go fast with minimal down time for charging, you're better off planning your charging stops to run the battery from 10% to 80%, rather than 25% to 90% or 100%. I've never had a problem with spending 30 minutes or so at a supercharger. Find a bathroom, get some food, take a 15 minute nap in the car, etc.

That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing that news, Brother Dale. I also read yesterday that Toyota has surpassed GM in the number of vehicles sold last year. Toyota builds quality vehicles whereas Government Motors has had quality issues for decades. (Our only vehicle is a Lexus RX350, and it has been virtually bulletproof).

India has taken a separate route towards reducing emissions. Car manufacturers are offering hybrids.

LTC David Brown, they surely do have advantages Sir. For instance, regular use charges the rear battery that runs the vehicle in cruise and it runs the system reducing fuel consumption, and emissions.

I started with a Civic hybrid in 2004.Traded it for a Prius C in 2010. We got rear-ended in 2015 and it was totaled. Got a full-size Prius to replace it and just paid off the interest-free lloan.
