My lap is relieved, but the battery life is the same—it's still about 10 hours, as it was with the Macintosh Portable. Batteries have gotten a whole lot better, but they have not gotten Moore's-Law better. We're living in battery-powered times. Batteries are key to decarbonizing our economies. No Moore's Law.

Regardless of how or where you charge, not all the electrical energy pulled from the grid—those watts—will make it into the “fuel tank” (battery). EV batteries store and produce DC electricity, not AC electricity. DC fast chargers convert AC grid power to DC charging power in the charger itself, not in the vehicle.
