But I think the better direction is to make batteries easier to charge in a short timeframe. Charging more frequently (say every 500km or so) would generally be acceptable if it could be done in a few minutes. That is a good point. If the recharge time could be made similar to that of refueling and IC car, that would be a big hurdle overcome for a lot of buyers. I regularly go Visit my Dad. about 400Km/ 4 hours. I often have dinner with him and am back home by mid night. An extra hour for charging would not be viable for me to do that. If I could stop half way or so as I often do for a Pit stop and a coffee and recharged in 10 Min, that would be fine.  May take some significant cooling to allow the energy transfer that quick though.
