For electric vehicles, the bottleneck isn’t how fast the batteries can be recharged, it’s how much power must be provided to the recharging station and how heavy and thick the recharging cables have to be in order to deliver tens of kilowatts of energy per minute to the vehicle.

I always like to ask the question, how thick would a wire have to be to fully charge a tesla battery in five minutes.

We have black outs every summer in CA. What happens when everyone charges their car all night?

That's why I've always thought carrying around a fixed battery pack in the vehicle was idiotic. They should be removable, placed underneath so they can be swapped out at a facility like a drive through car wash with a credit given for remaining charge.

Just pull in, have a machine swap the battery, and drive out.
