    Will EV Rapid Chargers Kill the Gas Station?

    Think, the electric car producer, announced this week at the Washington Auto Show that it is partnering with AeroVironment to commercialize rapid chargers. This could mean charging an electric car to about 80 percent capacity in 15 minutes. Richard Canny, Think’s CEO, called the move to so-called Level III rapid charging “a major leap forward for electric vehicles.â€

    Isn't Nissan's Leaf already starting Rapid Charge infrastructure here in the U.S. ??

    2011 Nissan LEAF: Charging Capabilities Could Make Range Limitless - All Cars Electric

    The better thread topic might be, "When will an affordable EV be built here in the U.S. ?"
