These sensationalist articles don't help, either. This subject was kicked
around in the Yahoo! Toyota-Prius forum a couple months ago and the big
hitch was the amount of power required to do a ten minute charge. IIRC it
was around 250kW - in a league with entire shopping malls and colleges.

Actually, that doesn't sound that unreasonable. 250 KW for ten minutes is
41.7 KWH, about $5 worth of electricity.

I leave it to someone else with a much wilder imagination than I have to
figure out where to get a battery that will charge significantly in ten
minutes, much less a whole pack of them.

All we have to do is upgrade our homes' electric service to 1000A and we
will be in great shape!

Actually, you will need more than 2000A and even more if you want to
run your refrigerator at the same time. Of course the 10 minute
charge sounds more like a "gas station" mode. If the "gas station"
wants to charge three of these vehicles at once, it will need 6000+A
service. Figure they will charge you about at least $15 for that $5
worth of electricity to pay for the infrastructure and provide a
profit. The real question is, how far can you drive on that $15 fill
up? I would be surprised if it is any farther than you can get on $15
worth of gasoline.

What? Your house doesn't have 1000 Amp. service? I thought that was the bare
minimum. ROFL!!!! Seriously, most houses up here have either 100 or 200 amp
service. Back in the 50's, 75 amp was the norm.
