The four-hour charge time is based on using 240 volt AC/80 ampere charging through the SAE J1772 connector, which is pretty much the de facto standard in North America and Japan. There is an even faster charging standard called CHAdeMO that will use the JARI Level 3 DC voltage connector, which will charge the batteries on a Nissan Leaf to full power in 30 minutes.

I have read the technology is in work for the 30 minute charger. But it’s not available yet. Perhaps 2013+.

How many cycles do you think they can pull that off before frying something?
