Electric car chargers

[pirate]

Just wondered if anyone has seen the advert for the new Fiat 500E...
If you read the small print at the bottom it says you can charge it enough in a few minutes to do 30 miles, using an 84kw charger...probably not a domestic installation then...
However, on a 13A plug it only takes 19 hours to charge...
There's a few questions in my mind about this, but please say what you think.

I witnessed the ship car transporter from Japan hitting the jetty at Sheerness, it was moving at about 2mph, but demolished approximately 500M of jetty.

I'm not sure of the point you are trying to make with your example, a ship can be affected by a number of external influences that can provide motion or continued motion long after it's main power is removed it can take several miles to bring it to a stop even with the props running hard astern

The point was, it was kinetic energy and not velocity that caused the damage.

Wasn't there a physics professor joined the forum last week?
Maybe he can help with the kenetic energy equations???
