I’m gonna take this winter (and the last gasp of my free electricity plan) to figure out how much preconditioning it takes to make fast charging reasonable, but here’s one data point:
25 minutes @ 31° F -> charge from 35% to 80% in 22:38 (110 kW max)

More than half of all US white women, support whoever is the fashiest POTUS option on the ballot. Less than half support whoever is the least fashy POTUS option. This has been true for > 80 years.
Predictably, ~half of the Hollywood starlets are Trumpy, and ~half are anti-Trumpy.
