A little long for a fill-up, but not too bad.
Coming to a Starbucks near you. :)
Plug ‘er up and have a cup of joe while you wait...not a bad time at all.
I’d imagine with price decreases, they could separate the cells and give people a smaller time frame for charges w/option of longer distances.
We’ll see, though. I’m just looking at anything that will work and defund the middle east.

They probably limit the charge rate a bit to reduce the peak current requirements during charging.
If you're pumping 35 KWhr of energy into the battery pack in ten minutes, you'd need to supply 210 KW to the charger for that duration (plus the losses due to any ineffeciency in the charging circuit of course). I presume that they're using multi-phase power since even single-phase 240V would need 875 amps even with a 100% efficient charger.
35 KWh is about the same amount of energy as in a gallon of gasoline. That would be about the same as three hours to fill your tank.
