The technology is here: Tesla models and the Chevy Bolt already have a range of 220 to 335 miles per charge. Ford is developing a 300-mile range SUV....

What about measuring time traveled? Can Tesla and Bolt refill in under five minutes? The tech will add an hour for every 250 miles traveled. a four hour drive becomes a five hour drive.

a four hour drive becomes a five hour drive.

If you make infrequent road trips, a hour out of your day may not be so bad for some people. The Bolt isn't a practical road car because of the slower quick charging. It is about half as fast as a Tesla supercharging. Trip times will vary depending on weather conditions and charging availability. From what I've read, Tesla supercharging stalls don't all operate at the full charging rate when completely full. A full 8 stall station will only provide a full charge rate to 4 cars, and a reduced rate for the other 4. Once a car leaves, the car next to it gets the full charge rate.
