Audi is working on modular fast chargers that only need a single 480v hook up not triple phase 3000+ HV AC , fast charge at 270 kw using second life cells as the energy buffer and means to trickle charge or demand shift off peak power rates. The current industry standard is moving to 800v DC with 350 to 500 kw charging that’s a full 5% to 80% charge of a 60kWh pack in 5 minutes or less.

Next question is how is the electricity generated? Currently 40% of California's electricity comes from Natural Gas. So that is the next part of the system to address.
