The Reality of Fast Charging for Electric Vehicles

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The basic equation governing the charging of batteries is W = V * A, or to put it into words, Watts equals Volts times Amps. An EV like this would need to store 6KWHrs of power in the batteries if we assume the system is 100% efficient. Chrysler used this for their EPIC Minivan and could charge at a rate of about one mile per minute.
