It takes 5 hours to charge at that 80 amp rate so if Nautique is claiming 90 minute charge times they are assuming a very large amperage charger.

So if my online calculators are correct this would be 19.2 Kw hours, which would cost between $5-9 per fill up depending on electric rate. Am I correct? I am considering on an electric car for my commuter 47 miles one way 99% highway.

The battery is 8.5 KW and takes about 9 KW to charge. It charges more slowly as the battery gets full. We are paying about 9 cents per KW/h so about $8 to travel 220 miles. Smaller and newer EV' are more efficient than my 6 year old Tesla. I sure can't go that far for $8 in a comparable ICE vehicle like a BMW M5.

I think you meant 85 KW MnLB.

Sitting...they are fine. They just have less capacity like any battery would when its cold. The only issue is if you like to use your boat in sub zero temps. If the issue is no, then its not a problem.

Well I don’t use the cobalt in freezing temps, I do go boating.
