Keep in mind that the vast majority of charging is done overnight when the grid is least taxed.I don't think we have the electrical grids to support this.

As a current civic type r owner, soon to be jeep wrangler 2 door owner, and not a civic type r owner anymore. I must interject sir, "fast" is a subjective term, never forget that. No matter how many times Doug Demuro calls things fast or not fast in a totally fatalistic tone. "fast" is not an objective reality, it only exists for comparisons sake. My civic type r is fast, its quick, and its slow all at the same time depending on what other words fill the rest of the sentences in witch your mentioning its name. Guess what? You can literally insert anything in the blank of "civic type r" because jeep wranglers are also fast, quick, and slow, LaFerrari's are fast quick and slow, F15 Eagles are fast quick and slow. See how talking like that makes no sense yet? Let the record show, im only being partially serious.I guess fast is relative. Civic type r is the best bet, but it's quick and not fast by any means. The only fall back would be an NSX, and only the 2nd gen because the 1st gen is pretty abysmal how slow it is.
And literally anything can be fast when you mod it, so modified Hondas 100% do not count.
True except for maybe summer time but the shear amount of cars in this country is massive.Keep in mind that the vast majority of charging is done overnight when the grid is least taxed.
No, because I drive a Jeep, not a Prius. Though it you want to take artificial MPG on the readout... the more I drive in electric around town daily without taking any longer drives forcing use of the ICE, my MPG will climb higher and higher. Kind of killed that though with a drive to Baltimore and back (from Central FL) and about to drive 6 hours round trip tomorrow down to Miami(ish) and back so...Well there it is. Are you getting 50mpg~?
This test is pretty irrelevant. I would however be amused to see a proper track test between the JL and the Bronco. Just for kicks. Or how about comparing times on the Nordschleife?
Same thing as the C&D comparing unlike tire sizes. And that Bronco has aftermarket 35’s so it has either 3.73 or 4.27 gears not the 4.7’s that come with Sasquatch Broncos.Here is a Bronco 2.3 vs Wrangler V6 drag race, both 4-door:

Anyone who uses “The grid can’t handle it” as for why electric cars aren’t feasible hasn’t done any research. Engineering explained has a fantastic video, it is long so the gist of it is this: When air conditioning started becoming affordable in the 40’s and 50’s, did we just say “the grid can’t handle it?” and abandon the technology? Nope, we figured it out. Same thing will happen with electric cars.Keep in mind that the vast majority of charging is done overnight when the grid is least taxed.
Its gonna require the biggest changes to the grid since the grid was built in the first place, but ofc we can do it, And it would help if we had more nuclear power as well, because solar and wind cannot do it alone, not without quantum leaps in energy storage technology.Same thing as the C&D comparing unlike tire sizes.

You’re not wrong but spreading the load out is way more important than increasing peak capacity.Its gonna require the biggest changes to the grid since the grid was built in the first place, but ofc we can do it, And it would help if we had more nuclear power as well, because solar and wind cannot do it alone, not without quantum leaps in energy storage technology.
