If charging gets down to five minutes, well, that is the time to fill up a gas tank, then I can’t see any excuse not to own an EV like people have now who don’t live in a place where they can charge their car at night. The savings in gas, auto repairs and maintenance would easily offset the high price car or higher monthly payment.

The real exciting thing will be to see non-luxury brands selling more EV’s. Without the other premium features the price will be better and the used car matket for EV’s might look very good.

Just found about the Piech Mark Zero. Supposedly charges to 80% in five minutes.
