Range anxiety is often quoted as the main barrier to electric vehicle adoption, but if the battery could be recharged in the same time it takes to refuel a conventional IC engine vehicle, much of that worry goes away. The real challenge came in designing the electrical architecture capable of absorbing such high rates of charge.
