The Reality of Fast Charging for Electric Vehicles

If we wanted to recharge this from 110V domestic service we would need to pull 10,800,000/110 = 96,000 amps. When GM installed chargers for the EV1 they used a 50amp 220V circuit that could pump over 6KW into the batteries. I like to use the example of someone driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
