Re: Lies, Damned Lies, and yet more Marketing Lies
My real pet peeve with EV reporting is when you read a review in a car magazine and they always quote the range as 'up to x miles on a full charge '* and then in the very next sentence tell you it can recharge "from 10-80% in x minutes"** - pick one or the other, you can't tell me the full range from 100-0% charge but then the charge time for just the middle 70%. The use pattern is either run for 70% range and charge quickly or run for all the range and take ages to charge, anything else is cherry picking data to pretend that the inherent limitations are less than they really are.
*Which is also a made up number under ultra-ideal conditions, but so is the petrol car MPG number so.....
** Again, under ultra-ideal conditions with just the right kind of charger of which there is one within 50 miles of you and it is broken.
