I agree with this as a dream list (at which point electric cars are better than ICE cars in every way), but we don't need all of them for batteries "to not be deemed crappy anymore"

For me personally, if I can get the first two, then I'll gladly give a bit on the third (even though I regularly do a one-day, 1400km drive and 1-hr charging times would slow me down dramatically).

Tesla right now has the range pretty alright, and the charging speed not bad (but not close to your 20 min full charge), but the cost is just too high. I'll keep driving my 7 year old Yaris.



The Tesla Supercharger v3 DOES achieve this. Can do >210 miles of charging in 20 minutes. 67% state of charge on a Model 3 LR in just 20 minutes, which works out to 210 miles of range on the EPA standard, and about 400km of range on the European standard.

I think you've got a formatting issue doubling up your comment.

That graph shows it charging from ~10% to ~65% in 20 minutes - assuming that is a long range model, that works out to (523km*0.55=) 290km range in 20 minutes.

I know Supercharger v3 is great, and i'd be satisfied with that speed (as I stated). I was replying to someone who wants sub 20 minutes for (what I assume to be) a full charge.


Ah, you're correct about the starting at 10%. I had misread the graph.
