While it is faster accelerating than braking, they are in the same ballpark (iirc less than a second different). It doesnt accelerate like a rocket and brake like a dually. Could be maxed charge rate combined with relatively coarse control of brakes. Engineered explained did a segment on it.
They don't. No one does. But then why are motorcycles able to go so fast and accelerate at a blinding rate also?
So we can get to 39km/h over just that much faster.
So far, I don't know of any specific acceleration laws. Speeding clearly illegal and Ontario could hit you with 172 for rapid acceleration but it is fightable. Acceleration is more fun than speed anyway. Like MP said, if the line was what do people need, 99% of us would be on <300 cc bikes (and 125 probably works for most).
I take it as a challenge.
Not sure of what charge to lay? Go with blanket stunting and call it a day.
It's pretty much what it is.
Nobody needs to accelerate faster than a Yaris (the regular model). For street vehicles, acceleration and top speed are benchmarks, they are mostly used for bragging.

Part of electrical inspection. Solar can charge battery, battery can run house. Grid cannot under any circumstances charge battery.
When are they going to inspect? I will be doing this myself.
I'd make this **** simple and install a 10kwh house battery, that would take about 1hr a night to fully charge, set the charger to come on at 6AM.Ontario is moving forward with ultra cheap overnight electricity. Who's going to use their battery and price arbitrage to shrink their bill. @PrivatePilot is probably in the best position as he has practiced part of the solution. Ideally it would be automated though. They explicitly do not allow this with conventional power storage but I'm not sure if they thought about vehicles.
Ontario moving forward with 'ultra-low' overnight electricity rate
The Ontario government says it's advancing plans to create an 'ultra-low' overnight electricity rate.toronto.ctvnews.ca
Edit:
~2.5 c/kwh 23:00 to 07:00. Peak power is ~17 c/kwh. So there is about 15 c/kwh arbitrage. If you are work from home, have an inverter that can run your A/C and an EV, that should be financially viable even with efficiency hit of multiple conversions. You need the inverter, ATS (controlled by something smart to flip at certain times only if EV is plugged in, if you exceed draw off 80% of inverter capacity flip back to grid, if EV battery drops to xx% flip to grid) and some wiring. If you want the EV to be full the next day, just don't connect the inverter.
I'm going to talk to some battery energy storage contacts and get some more info. Assuming I can come up with a legal way to do it, it Should be possible to save a few dollars a day on the hydro bill in perpetuity (and have a battery backup on the house so no need for a generator).
I don't know of anything that prohibits you from storing power -- that's what an electric car does.
Maybe that's the line. Maybe the battery can never dump back to grid. I know there's a line in there somewhere. That one makes sense as if you were on a solar purchase agreement as you could time shift grid power through the battery to maximize returns on your "solar" system.
As more news comes out, this gets even dumber. In exchange for the cheap overnight rate (which costs them roughly nothing), they are increasing on peak rate. Improving arbitrage even more.
