Using the Nissan Leaf as an example 24kwh battery pack
On 220v to charge in 5 minutes requires over 1000 amps
(24000kwh*60min/hr)/(5min*220v)=1309 amps. It will be interesting, but we need a plug that any idiot can handle safely and that can deliver that current for years without catching fire.
I like the idea of having a large battery pack at charging stations, it should help even out the draw, and surges. But even then the draw on the power grid will be insane, especially for a large buisy 24 hour station.
