Lots of focus on long-range or quick battery swaps.
But if I could recharge an electric car in 5 minutes I could live with a 100 mile range.
In addition to increasing capacity, there is research being done on new battery designs which can be charged very quickly. We're definitely not there yet but when we are it will certainly change the electric car landscape. In the next decade we might see batteries that can be fully or at least 70%-90% charged in less than the time it takes to fill up a gas tank.
