Ooo... I thought Neil Young proved this conclusively with musicians

Written like a typical academic meta-analysis of course. Like Arny said,

I've driven a few, and frankly they are all unacceptable compromises -

Yeah, I trust Tesla's numbers as much as I trust MPG ratings. ;)
Yes, they are talking about battery swap stations. Certainly better
time wise. But that also assumes they have your batteries (for which
there is no standard among car makers), that they have your specific
batteries charged (hopi
So far Tesla are reporting capacity loss nowhere near 20% on even the
earliest cars. More like 7-10%.
I don't think there's any doubt that cars other than the Tesla and its
supercharger network are not serious contenders for long journeys.
Also note that Tesla are starting to engineer battery p

30 minute wait if you are lucky. Tesla's own site shows 75 minutes

The paper summarizes positives from studies at the edge of plausibility.
Just take the Bob S. paper that claims trained listeners can detect
differences. The files used are from the best recordings available, down
and upsampled again with unusal filters and bad dithering. Even then it
only shows a

Ok but be fair if you plan your long journey right and land on
superchargers you get more like 3 or 4 hours between half hour charges
with a high capacity Tesla. For the smaller battery cars they just won't

Precisely the point I was making earlier. Electric cars are only
suitable for short journeys.

My supercar analogy was based on the fact that while performance
differences can be measured indeed, in day to day driving and with speed
limits and horrible drivers out there - it doesn't make a difference,
and in many ways is an inferior choice. The same could be argued about
cables - difference

It is quite normal for an unregulated power supply to drop output
voltage quite significantly when it's put under load. That may not be
your issue. It is a cheap test, however.
