I do not see there ever being a way to rapidly charge a battery to the point it can be as practical as liquid fuel.

Rapid charge makes heat. Heat is what kills batteries and a hot battery will not take as much charge as a cool one, nor live as long.

Only way I see an electric being practical is if you just need something to get from home to work and back a short distance and that’s it.

I’ll stay with big horsepower V8’s and turbo diesels.
