No it doesnt. 20 minutes. Also, it will cut down a ton on fleet maintenance costs as well as fuel wasted idling. Of note, Ive never heard of a PD dumping EVs...only buying them. Been seeing it for years.
I don't believe that is correct. According to the EV forum, this thing will get 78 miles of range in 10 minutes with a 190KW DC fast charger. 78 miles isn't very far. I presume that is the sweet spot of the charging curve so how much range do you get in 20 minutes. Its not double. Maybe 130 miles? Also this doesn't include pulling in, plugging in, etc. It also assumes there is a level 2 DC fast charger readily available. I don't think this thing will do a level 3 charge?

I get around 200mi in 20 minutes. I mean, it's a GM. It's not going to be cutting edge. Other PD' use better EV's that charge faster. As to idling, EV can idle a LOOOONNNNG time, lol, think days. It's got a 70-100kw battery. Most homes use about 100kw in 3 days running a comparatively huge HVAC, stove, etcI don't believe that is correct.

So lets say 22 minutes gets you 130 miles of range in ideal conditions.
Vs 300+ miles of range and forever idling in 5 minutes at a gas station.
Still inefficient by a factor of 10.

That one is going to wholly dependent on which one they bought. There’s good cars and bad cars across the board. One EV isn’t an example of the whole lot just as a Yugo wouldn’t paint the whole picture for ICE cars.
Ya think? Ha!
You're going to have to cite this source including which vehicle it is. We have regular -20F temperatures and we have an EV. Again none of this is one size fits all like so many think it needs to be. Someone always comes up with some extreme example to say why something else shouldn't ever be considered.
Hopefully they learned something from that costly mistake. Having said that they're lucky it was only two vehicles.
The Lightning has been a well documented disaster. I've never seen a Lyric. I didn't know they were out.
We cannot debate or discuss this with her as she's not here, but I will keep an eye out for when we hit -20ish this year here, IF we get that cold, and make notes. I am not at all saying she's incorrect, though, or that you are lying, as -20 hits way different from 0, so I presume -55 does the same with -20, so to speak. EV's are not the answer for everyone, everywhere, all the time, just like gas cars absolutely suck for people like me, I am sure EV's do the same for others, and it sounds like your sister's use case is one of them. I don't see why people want to take extreme circumstances and then paint it with a broad brush.
They are, we have them all over around here in the midwest. They look awkward to me though, and are super slow, so I have not looked into them at all as there is zero appeal to me.
