"It takes a huge amount of energy to drive a car 500 miles."

Correct. Now, try to load all that energy into the car in just 5 minutes via a plug.

Maybe a plug into 10,000 volts with cables the size of your arm. Ain't gonna happen. Simple physics gets in the way.

Not E,,it’s I..

Wasn’t it Don R. that said in public, “that we don’t know what we don’t know”. Every expert on the subject bashed the invention of the airplane a while back, said it couldn’t be done.

If you are using 10,000 volts, 50 amps would charge it in 6 minutes.

Oh! aw right 30 minutes you ol poop.. and cables the size your FINGER.. for enough energy to get you home.. Where a charge could happen in a couple of hours..

Let’s do the math.
It takes about 12kw to move a car down the road at highway speed(60mph).

500miles/60mph = 8.33hrs

12kw x 8.33hrs = 100kwhr

5min/60min = .083 hrs

100kwhrs / .0833hrs = 1200kw

1200kw at 600 volts dc = 2000 Amps

So in order to charge you vehicle in 5 min you will need to darken the surrounding neighborhood. And yes, plug in a cable the size of Hillary’s thigh.

I would not recommend doing this in the rain.
