39. Old information
The dealer where I bought my Leaf has a Level 3 charger.

I was incorrect about the rate; it charges to 80% in under 20 minutes.

http://www.evtown.org/about-ev-town/ev-charging/charging-levels.html

My Leaf gets an average of 85 miles/charge (I have no idea how you arrive at 66 miles) so 85*.8 = 68 miles in 20 minutes. It's hard on the batteries, but again - there's nothing theoretical about connectors/cables which is preventing 5-minute charges.

You claimed the 5-minute charge couldn't be achieved in an earlier post then qualified it by introducting the arbitrary 200-mile range afterward. Not sure why you're intent on disparaging EVs, the reality is much more encouraging than you suggest.
