I’d buy an electric car in an instant if I could give it a 250 mile refill in a couple of minutes.

And that may happen within five years. The new CHAdeMO 3.0 standard, which charges at up to 900 kW DC, could in theory charge something like a Tesla Model 3 in under seven minutes from empty to full.

“which charges at up to 900 kW DC”

That much juice going into a car, or for that matter going into the recharging station from the grid, is scary. And then think of 100 or 1000 cars doing that at the same time in a city.
