250,000+ rides/week / 1,500 operating vehicles = ~24 rides / vehicle day

3,500 vehicles by the end of 2026 (not even counting Zeekr and Hyundai models).

>~24 rides / vehicle day

I guess I don't know what to expect, but does 24 rides/day seem on the low side? Anyone know what the down time per car is for charging and/or cleanout? Looks like the Jaguar I-PACE has a 90 kWh battery, and if it gets L2 charged at 8 kW, that would take a little over 11 hours to fully charge from completely empty. But the battery probably doesn't get very depleted, since it is only running around town at low speeds (so efficiency should be high). I suppose the slow, around the town driving also limits how many rides you can do per hour.
