Fully Charged in Just 6 Minutes – Groundbreaking Technique Could Revolutionize EV Charging::Typically, it takes around 10 hours to charge an electric vehicle.

If electric vehicles could charge as swiftly as we refill traditional gas vehicles, it wo

If nothing else, you say 15 minutes as if that’s always how long it’ll be. In an ideal world, yes. Have you not heard/read the multitude of people who have problems with chargers though? Waiting on others to finish, broken chargers, chargers not going their rated speed, etc.
15 minutes isn’t bad. With all I’ve read I just think it’s going to typically be longer than that and I don’t want to add hour(s) to a long trip just because of charging.
For me, vehicle cost of a plug-in hybrid would be the biggest factor. I haven’t really looked since I’m not in the market for one just yet. I can’t imagine it’s going to be worth fixing my 17 y/o Prius for much longer though. While they do need ICE and electric parts, they don’t need nearly the battery capacity. It’s not just slapping on an ICE to something like a Tesla where there would only be extra cost.
