Had a chance to talk to a guy from Tesla, and he was saying that they were working on a system to totally recharge in 30 minutes. I recall he threw out the figure of 400 amps to do it. While his job was picking up the bodies when they were shipped into SFO and he didn't strike me as an engineer, that figure scared the crap out of me. I think I'd want to be motoring down the road at full speed after a charge like that just to get some airflow across the cells!
