One could always watch a movie or grab a bite while charging. Just have to adapt to it. Is whether you want or not. agree and this will be worst for the charging eco system! why? a car full charge is 75 min, you catch a movie 120min! a difference of 45min hogging the station! everyone do this siao lah! jam up the whole eco system! back to square make/save money buy a landed 1st, inter-terrance also good! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you charge while you do your stuffs, run your errand, grab a meal... etc... agree, but this is the attitude that will hog up the charging station, screw up the already long waiting time and i believe many people who does these activity wont be back on time for their car, when it is already fully charge!

I think the current fastest full charge from Tesla is 75min! thus I agree only if you stay in landed and willing to build your own charging point, if not dun waste time until maybe 10 years later! Use supercharger from 0% to 80% in 20mins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porsche have 30 mins charger but not for home installation. The Taycan's 800V architecture allows the battery to be charged at a maximum capacity of 270kW, which can add 100km of range in 5 minutes, and charge from 5 to 80% in 22.5 minutes.

Didu Supercharged July 9, 2021 Share July 9, 2021 (edited) Guys, there may be a new power source to power our car, currently under ultra secret R&D in South Korea. It'll make obsolete what charging point, solar panels,...etc. Get ready to say bye bye to Elon Musk. South Korean toilet turns excrement into power and digital currency Cho Jae-weon, a South Korean professor at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), stands next to a faeces tank(we call it sai tang) at a laboratory in Ulsan, South Korea on Jul 6, 2021. (Photo: REUTERS/Minwoo Park) Cho Jae-weon, an urban and environmental engineering professor at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), has designed an eco-friendly toilet connected to a laboratory that uses excrement to produce biogas and manure. The BeeVi toilet - a portmanteau of the words bee and vision - uses a vacuum pump to send faeces into an underground tank, reducing water use. There, microorganisms break down the waste to methane, which becomes a source of energy for the building, powering a gas stove, hot-water boiler and solid oxide fuel cell. "If we think out of the box, faeces has precious value to make energy and manure. I have put this value into ecological circulation," Cho said. An average person defecates about 500g a day, which can be converted to 50 litres of methane gas, the environmental engineer said. This gas can generate 0.5kWh of electricity or be used to drive a car for about 1.2km. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/sustainability/south-korea-eco-friendly-toilet-faeces-electric-power-15185288 Folks that's "full of shit" naturally have the resources to drive further. 😁 So do those with big families.

Not really useful That's why the solar farm in Northern Australia is ideal because it has little cloud cover and extremely sunny? Seems like is Australia is going to be be an export market for renewable energy, with Singapore probably importing from Australia around 2027.

I thought BMW South Africa already did that 6 years ago but with cow dung 🤣 https://www.europeanbiogas.eu/south-africa-first-commercially-viable-biogas-project-kicks-off-at-bmw-plant/ Moreover, using human dung is less cost efficient than cow dung as there is less methane in human dung 🤦♂️ But nobody will say that there's an excess of sources of energy, right? 😁 bulls**t.
