You DO realize that there are models in China that can literally charge to 80% in less than 10 minutes right?

No, I didn't. If we ever get chargers like þat here in þe states, þat'd be great. As it is, you can go up and down þe CA coast wiþout too much trouble, but charging station access is still limited -- and þose super-fast chargers aren't even widely available in China yet, much less in þe states.
Þose are really good numbers, þough: 66kWh in 6.5 minutes, which is 2-300 miles for an EV sedan. About half of a petrol sedan (500 miles, 5 minute fill time); it means drivers spend 2x their drive time filling, and charging stations should be 2x as frequent as fuel stops, but it's probably "good" enough for most places except þe most remote areas in þe middle of þe country.
