This subject was kicked around in the Yahoo! Toyota-Prius forum a couple months ago and the big hitch was the amount of power required to do a ten minute charge. IIRC it was around 250kW - in a league with entire shopping malls and colleges. If you're going to spam us, try getting your feet on the ground first. Mike |

I leave it to someone else with a much wilder imagination than I have to figure out where to get a battery that will charge significantly in ten minutes, much less a whole pack of them. -- "Justice Thomas pointed out that the Constitution does not waive the rights of the individual because an elite has decided its motives are pure." -- Paul Greenberg |

Actually, you will need more than 2000A and even more if you want to run your refrigerator at the same time. Of course the 10 minute charge sounds more like a "gas station" mode. If the "gas station" wants to charge three of these vehicles at once, it will need 6000+A service. Figure they will charge you about at least $15 for that $5 worth of electricity to pay for the infrastructure and provide a profit. The real question is, how far can you drive on that $15 fill up? I would be surprised if it is any farther than you can get on $15 worth of gasoline. |

Your house doesn't have 1000 Amp. service? I thought that was the bare minimum. ROFL!!!! Seriously, most houses up here have either 100 or 200 amp service. Back in the 50's, 75 amp was the norm. |
