Since I have some attention, what is the actual peak rate you guys have experienced with the 6.6kW charger? I mean, what's the efficiency loss of the charger? There could be a lot of time difference between 6.0 and 6.5, say.

Thanks, everyone, that's a load off on trip planning. DNAinaGoodWay, I guess I'll call start calling them L2 stations. ('EVSE' without also saying 'station' in this context might be confusing because they also exist as a brick on a portable wire and at your house and in the wild. And I don't...

The forum's wiki says 48 modules, so those are half a kwh each. Plenty of granularity. As far as the space efficiency considerations, 36% would be around the difference between the S's current options (and a LOT less than the original 40/60/85kwh spread). Given the price of batteries, and...
