Something like the XPENG G6 comes to mind.

• 800V platform, so very fast charging speeds
• 80kWh battery with realistic range of 450 km

On a ~680km trip you can make 2 short charging stops (13 minutes each) and arrive with 60% battery (>250km range).

Although I’d challenge the assumption about having to have 250km left at your destination. Just plug it into an AC charger or even just a standard AC house plug at 2,3 kW. Idle time is free charging time.

So you could actually make that trip with two short stops under 10 minutes each.

Caveat: there have to be ≥350 kW chargers available along your route

Only one step away from becoming a reverse centaur

It’s a spectrum

What an absolute slap in the face for the underpaid and overworked ATCs. Been bitching about more money for years?

Naaah how about your boss is now a clanker

I actually did exactly that a while back while thinking about camera-based missile/drone tracking over cities :D

Initially the safeguards wouldn’t let me… With the video game angle it helped me theorize a setup and even provided info on how to make the tracking data useable for stationary air defense or mobile MANPAD deployments

Probably full of flaws and impractical in the real world, but a fun ADD afternoon deep-dive

Huh, so much for the master’s tools not destroying the master’s house
