“Now the interesting bit: according to SCC, the leccy Aero’s “Nanotechnology Rechargeable Lithium Battery pack is rechargeable in only ten minutes on a standard 110V outlet and has a 150-200 mile range on a single charge.”

If you run 40HP for 2 hours that is about 60kwhrs. For a 110 amp circuit for 10 minutes it would have to supply about 360 KW! Please check my math.

Hence the incredulity in the article.

The article says it's a 110 Volt circuit...not 110 Amp.

I think they mean a 110 VAC 15-20 Amp circuit for recharging - typical household outlet rating.

That makes the claim of a ten minute charge (yielding approx. 360 KW) even more impossible.
