Indeed - try filling a modern 90 litre tank using a turn-of-the-century hand cranked pump and see how long it takes. The range problem will always be there in some respect, but for many people it won't be an issue if the car is a 2nd car. And the infrastructure will get rolled out eventually. The beauty of it is that independent quick-charge stations could literally spring up anywhere the power is already on. And for the retailers, consumers stuck for 20 or 30 minutes while their car is recharged probably sounds like a dream come true. For a long time, the profit in fuel retailing has come from the overpriced convenience stores attached to the fuel pumps.
