Look all Tesla Motors has accomplished in less than ten years. I bet by 2020 supercharging in 5 mins and reaching 500 miles will be common, most of us will be driving electric cars and by 2050 the transition will be complete in the whole world.
- ams6110 15y agoStop and think about charging an 85 kWH battery pack in 5 minutes. Assuming 80% charging efficiency (no idea if that's what it is, just a guess) you will need about 100 kWH * 60/5 = 1200 kW. 1.2 million Watts draw for 5 minutes. 5,000 Amps at 240volts. Totally impossible with our current grid and generating capacity.
