My wife had me do a Myers-Briggs personality test last night. ENTP.

Apparently that means I argue for the sake of argument; often playing Devil's Advocate for a position I don't necessary support just to get others to partake in logical debate and flesh the idea out. I appreciate direct answers either for or against the position I hold. Thanks Jray

I don't intend to offend anyone; it's just that I'm never offended and assume others likewise take no offense.

The DC fast-charge myth was something I wasn't aware of. I was simply repeating information I had heard about Tesla battery capacity being negatively impacted by frequent use of DC fast-charge.

My intention is to purchase an EV, likely a 2013 Leaf, once the 2nd gen comes out along with the Bolt EV and other upcoming models that should drive prices down. And I agree that it will likely be my "Primary" vehicle since it will be the most frequently used. The Prius has seen 15k miles since February, meanwhile the Acura has mostly been dormant.
