The risk of this will probably go down as the market shifts to super-capacitors but mass quantities of Li-Ion batteries can be hazardous ...

I think they might have a stepping stone to Li polymer in between.

Li-Ion batteries are crazy and scary when popped/exposed to oxygen. I had a bad MacBook Pro battery ignite into a chain reaction of blue flames in my home office last year. I wound up throwing it out the window onto my front porch…. If it was a larger battery array, it would have been insane.

Probably would have had a hard time tossing a Tesla out of the garage.

Not if one is Cross - Fit ;)

Easy peasy, you just open the garage, summon it near your hated neighbor's house, drop your phone and run like hell.

I was charging 4 hours here (2 hours each changer) @ 8kw. At 32kwh, that will be ~120mile range.
If a vehicle has a 24mpg, that is ~5gal. ( 120mi/24mpg)=~5

equivalent to: 5 gal x $3.10/ga= ~$15.50 worth of free gas.

(was doing some taxes for about 4 hours)

That's the thing. I would be bored out of my f'n mind sitting behind a grocery store for 4 hours. It's worth the cost to run the pump while I clean the windshield, then go about my day

I don't know if anyone has a patience to shop 4 hours at Kohl's. I won't be able to do that even on back to school shopping. lol

I would be more bored out of my mind if I had to do taxes at home. I was actually at a starbucks near the plaza. So, deduct -$2 spent on unlimited refill on coffee.
I am still on mileage calculation for December 2021, and 1 more month to go. I would say I am about 5% completed on 2021 taxes.

You made $3.88 per hour doing your taxes.
