Even a 20min "quick" charge is about four times that required to refill a gasoline car of greater range. And quick charging diminishes the life of batteries developed so far.

Replying to: daysailer (Oct 31, 2007 3:13 am) Yeah, but while it may be a slightly longer fill time, the cost of electricity is far less than a ICE, therefore making it attractive to consumers.

It could find some buyers here as second cars. To get a wider market it would need to come down in price and/or up in functionality
