But what size of battery were they charging? usinthe Tesla supercharger you can charge an 85kWhr battery to 50% in 30mins. that's like saying you could add 150miles+ of range in 30mins.
another thing to consider is real world use. I'll put it this way, no single person has a daily commute of 200+miles. most people had a daily commute under 40 miles. so basically, if you were on a road trip and after driving 250+ miles you need to charge up, then maybe resting for an hour, grabbing something to east all while charging up isn't such a bad idea.
the way I see it, ice cars become obsolete the day you can buy an electric car with 200+ miles range for under $22k.
