Super Quick Charger for Electric Cars

Biggest issue about electric cars is that when you run low on battery charge, you just cannot get into a station and fill up in a few minutes. Even the so called "quick chargers" take up to 30 minutes to charge batteries to 80%  capacity.

News comes of a charger development by a Japanese company JFE Engineering that have developed a charger that can charge car batteries to 50% capacity in 3 minutes and 70% capacity in 5 minutes. This was used to

actually run the Mitshubishi Electric car i-MiEV 80 kms continuously after a 5 minute charge. The car has a range of 160 kms after a full charge! We are going somewhere looks like! Whether out electrical grids be able to manage a significant number of cars charging at this rate is another issue that'll need a solution, of course.
