The Reality of Fast Charging for Electric Vehicles

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

When GM installed chargers for the EV1 they used a 50amp 220V circuit that could pump over 6KW into the batteries. Chrysler used this for their EPIC Minivan and could charge at a rate of about one mile per minute. Personally I think that we don’t need to charge the car even in 10 minutes.
