You only don't have to change it if you drive less than 40 miles per day, it's sunny just about every single day, never use the heat and AC, ect.

When I would do trips in my Leaf when I had it I also did a lot of charging at not just L2 stations but also at L1, that is, regular 15A outlets. For an example, at a camp site, hotel or friend's house, as well as other odd locations. The charging infrastructure really hasn't changed that much so being able to charge twice or three times "faster" at these low power outlets would appeal to me.
How do they know it will get twice the e-mpg? Did they build one and test it?
