In my Prius, I can add about 500 miles of range in 1 minute.
To do that with electricity would be roughly 7,500,000 watts. That's 7.5 megawatts of power to put 500 miles of range into a battery in 1 minute. It would be like 6250 homes appearing on the grid out of nowhere all of a sudden.
The batteries are a major limiting factor, but the chargers themselves are another limiting factor.
