I was very surprised by the company they chose for it, but from this perspective, it's definitely a great choice. If someone knows how to make things indestructible, it's them.

(Rheinmetall is generally known as a military supplier, think "General Dynamics" or "BAE Systems". I didn't realize they made anything for civilian use.)

Heh, like how Teledyne makes showerheads and Honeywell makes thermostats.

My thoughts exactly. In my downtown, those charging leads would be unplugged in 10 minutes and sold at the nearest scrap dealer.
