How many times have I read these words? Especially the "If it lives up to expectations" part. An EV with a 200 mile range will need a battery of at least 40kWh capacity. Charging that battery to even 80% in 1 minute would require an electrical service with a capacity of roughly 2 GIGAwatts - and that's just for one car. If you wanted to charge, say, just 5 cars at once, you'd need at least 10gW of capacity. That's about 1.3% of the ENTIRE US capacity. Where exactly is that kind of capacity going to come from? I suspect this piece is little more than trolling for investors.
