    Makes sense. What are you thinking would be better? km/kWh efficiency, kWh capacity, and kWh/h charging rate?

    I guess that last one could be kW charging rate. I raised my own eyebrows at myself typing kWh/h.

    Then again it’s tough to capture a non-linear charge rate in one number. Maybe the press release could come with an asterisk: “*This is the coefficient of a logarithmic function.” I’m guessing you have something more sensible in mind like time to X kWh, or time to 80% charge.

    Do you think people would stand for the technically-equivalent-and-simplified m/Wh instead of km/kWh? Slaps roof of car “Got a lotta meters in this one!”
