- This isn’t meant as a dunk on David, but charging speed isn’t what’s slowing down EV adoption in the US. The charging curve on a Taycan can get you very close to what this BYD can do.

We don’t like sitting in traffic or having to drive every time we want to commute or perform some mundane chore. We want it as an enjoyable pastime.
