My local paper had an aritcle about the EESTOR electric vehicle. They claimed they could charge the vehicle in 5-10 Minutes, on household current, and drive it from Houston to Dallas TX. My guess would be that is something like at least 500 kilowatt hours of energy (conservatively) to travel about 250miles. Beyond the incredible range claim you have to have a curcuit capable of moving 500 kilowatt hours of electricity in 5-10 minutes, or 3000 to 6000 kilowatts of electricity through your household circuits.

Yeah right, snake oil salesman.
