    It’s well under 30 minutes for most cars now. Besides, with the number of makes and models of electric vehicles on the road today, the chances of manufacturers agreeing on one model of pack is slim to none. It also doesn’t help that most battery packs are water cooled, which adds complexity to the design.

    A model 3 is more like fifteen minutes charge time now.

      If a model 3 really charges in 15 minutes then every single model 3 driver at my work and the stations near me is an ass for sitting in the EV chargers far longer than that

        it’s 20 minutes for 20% -> 80%, assuming it’s a 150kW charger. Nobody has a 150kW charger at their home or office, unless they happen to work at the local powerplant and/or charging station.

        0%->100% at home, at 7kW-11kW is going to take basically a workday (and change) depending on battery size.

        That’s with the latest battery technology and the right type of charger, of course.
