Man what a catastrophe if the small device/lever that senses if the door is open or if the plug is plugged in broke. Your car would never move.
Beat me...
Yes...Such a small thing to render the car useless? Hopefully there would be some warning and override. But, I can see a hole lot of ridicule for people driving around with their charge port doors open...just like those with the gas caps still hanging off.
I had thought that the charge door automatically opens when it senses the charger. Surely it would close when it doesn't sense the charger?
I'm a little confused about the charger. It says on the design studio page that without the Twin Chargers, 1 hour of charge will give you 31 miles. I thought that the 85kw battery fully charged in 3 1/2 hours, and in just 1 hour with the super charger.
With the twin chargers charging at 80A, you can charge the 85 kWh pack in a little over 4 hours. With the single charger at 40A it's about 9 hours.
Ahh I understand. I confused the superchargers with the twin chargers. Do you think we will be able to purchase superchargers for our homes? Is there any news on the network they are making?

No, it doesn't. It's very easy to make something open. Spring load it, then when conditions call for it, release the catch. To open and close it, it has to be motorized.
The LA Times review video (at the 1:27 mark) seems to confirm the theory that it might simply be spring-loaded
I watched that and it seemed to open too smoothly for a spring loaded system. I guess they could have put a damper in but it seems to me it would be simpler to use a motor than a complex spring and damper system. Probably cheaper to make as well.
