The hitch: in order to be able to charge in just 10 minutes... it’ll melt your house wiring and burn down your home.

That’s even before we consider the inability of the power transmission infrastructure to handle the load.

Neighborhood Nuclear Power Plants To The Rescue!

No, seriously, there’s low-tech nuclear solutions for generating electricity, and also low-tech nuclear solutions for manufacturing diesel. Of course if you and your neighbors can produce your own diesel you might not need an EV...

Most of these solutions run off natural or slightly-enriched uranium; add-on higher tech features include thorium conversion for higher energy output, radioactive “waste” burnup for remediation and higher efficiency, irradiation chambers to manufacture specialty isotopes; etc.

The smallest useful designs produce roughly 20KW to 100MW of quality heat energy, suitable for farm/ranch/industrial/desalination/oil&gas extraction/mining/other process heat consumption.
