The Niro has a max DCFC rate of 85kw. Since that's a max rate, you're only likely to hit it under ideal conditions (10% SOC at start of charging session, mild ambient temps, and a DCFC capable of delivering the power)

4/ The number of actions that stand up to any reasonable reading of "high crimes and misdemeanors" is rising by the day. All you need to do is force some courage into your sponsored lawmakers.

3/ What happens in 10 years when we have fewer graduates with lower skills without new fundamental research to build into products, companies, and markets?
We're willingly sending all that future value creation elsewhere. And you helped make it happen. But, it's not too late...just almost too late.

Dear GOP corporate donors (overlords) -
Having buyers remorse yet? Realizing that plunging the country into a recession, cutting funding for the fundamental research and education system that have powered our (until recently) world-leading economy is a bad idea? ... 1/

It's a solid vehicle. As more "normal" buyers come to EVs they don't come with the expectations of software techno-wizardry. The fact the ID4 is a solid vehicle that just happens to have an electric powertrain is it's strength. Same goes for the Audi Etron line.
