US EV sales have been setting records every year for the last 12 years.
r/cars is just happy that something with an ICE engine won the award.
Stellantis doesn’t currently sell any fast charging EVs in North America.
They would be dumb not to introduce new EVs(and the Ramcharger) as NACS at production start.
It is likely that an adapter will be needed at many locations. Tesla can quickly retrofit magicdock but is mostly doing that to increase revenue at rural Superchargers with low utilization.
Yup. In a PHEV when towing once the battery goes flat you still need a full sized truck engine to provide power.
level 2 30A is 5.76kW max. I think that Tesla may be using the heat pump AC unit to cool the battery as well as the cabin so when cooling the cabin at full blast the battery may not be getting cooled down enough.
The Ramcharger is using Chryslers 3.6L Pentastar engine which is 292hp or 217kW. I think it will have plenty of power as it is basically a full size truck engine and is already being used in Ram pickups. Of course the drawback with using a full size pickup motor is that the engine is fairly heavier and fuel efficiency in generation mode will be around 20mpg.
Last year I was amazed me how much money was spent to advertise vehicles which could not be purchased, not currently in production and not in mass production for years.
Perhaps those ads were create more to boost the tech credentials of the companies and stock prices than to drive sales.
This year I expect more traditional advertisements which feature cars available now on dealer lots.
