Unfortunately unless my quick mental math is utterly out to lunch:

The fastest supercharger station for a Model S is:
From 10% to 80% charge
Supercharger v3 (250 kW DC)
250 kW max rate
140 kW average rate
30 min
810 km/h

So to bring this down to 15 minutes on a pack at least this size would require MORE than a THIRD OF A MEGAWATT of constant current. We’re talking upwards of 333,000 watts of constant charge for 15 minutes.

1400 amps at 240 volts.

You need 1000 megawatts and a grid that can deliver it to charge just 3000 cars all at once at that rate.

Supercharge your Tesla all the time, means your battery will wear out quicker. Replacement cost -— $23,000? Under warranty is less.
