“I agree on the article being a bastardization of physics.”
Please cite an example.
If the EV gets 4 miles per kWh, then we're talking about 250 kWh to charge it back up. To do that in 5 minutes required a charging rate of 3,000 kW, or 3 megawatts (MW). Can 3MW be produced? Yes. Can it be done for practical matters? For example: setting up these 3MW chargers every few hundred miles for recharging a significant number of these cars driving around on vacation. I have problems seeing how that can be done without way more significant upgrades to the grid than what's already expected for a bunch of existing style EV's.
