and can be fully recharged in 15 minutes.
Only if you have the infrastructure to deliver that amount of power in such short amount of time. Read someone who’s done the maths on it and the result was something along the lines of “unlikely “

Sure, its a future thing. Wholesale power network upgrades will be required even for bog standard Panasonic/Tesla charging when people actually start buying the things in decent numbers. Its so much unlikely as a certainty that will happen over time.

Apologies if I misunderstand - but “unlikely” sounds like they are saying it’s not possible to build national charging infrastructure, full stop.
A simplistic answer like that suggests the person either has an agenda or is clueless. The only sensible answer is one based on depth and time: how many, how much power, how many cars, over what time scale.

Whilst the video doesn't address the infrastructure for rapid charging, its an interesting^ watch about UK's energy network capacity and potential future demand.

Just remembered something else.
VW group have been researching battery designs and as of a few days ago are claiming to have built a viable solid state battery that they say will be in their cars by 2024.
This is a Tesla killing feature in terms of range, charging and reliability unless Tesla catch up.
