MIT electric car charges in 10 minutes

The catch here: that quick charge needs 350 kW of power, enough to bring residential power systems to their knees. Charging stations capable of 356 Volts and 1000 amps would need to be built along highways to make this work. And the battery is quite expensive: $80K!
