Fast charging is vital. Sure, 99% of the time you don't need it,
assuming you can charge at home (which is not true for perhaps 50% of
the population). But for that 1% when you want to go a long distance, it
matters a lot.
In fact, probably none of the metrics make much difference for the 99%.
For those cases, if you have plenty of kWh and don't drive very far,
fast charging is irrelevant, efficiency is irrelevant, range is
irrelevant, and so on.
I won't replace my Leaf until I can get a car I can take to the
mountains. My case may be kind of unique, but there are many people with
unique cases, across the spectrum.

Subject: Re: [EVDL] Drivability
I think it is a sad distortion catering to FAST charging as the only
metric of EV value.
Maryland's EV infrastructure study showed that FAST charging only
represents 0.3% of EV charging infrastructure leaving the other 99.7% of
charging performed WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND NOT IN USE.
This drivability metric focuses entirely on how long you have to stand at
the FAST CHARGING port to get how many miles of range. When in fact. 99.7%
of all charging mileage comes from when the vehicle is parked and not in
use. THis is the #####111111 value of an EV, to charge during the 21 hours
the car is parked and not in use so that it is full everytime you get in it.
The definition fof driveability ignores this 99.7% of EV experience and
focuses only on the 0.3% to make a damaging assessment of EV practicality
which is entirely artificial.

I like the Drivability factor. Seems like something every EV should have
like MPG for gas cars.
