Hi,
in the above mentioned article it is stated that a 35 kWh battery can be recharged in 10 minutes.
Quick calculation gives me the following results;
If you would charge this on a 3 phase line, which in the US is 240 Volt than you must charge with at least 480 Amps per phase !!
Thats very heavy and almost nowhere, outside factory's and big buildings, available.
Do I miscalculate or do you overexagerate? To a buscompany (I work there) this is possible for one bus. If your fleet is about 200 busses, as is ours, this is absolutly impossible.
