Charge an Electric Car in 10 Minutes?

http://gas2.org/2009/07/27/student-built-electric-car-charges-in-10-minutes/

I don’t think many people fully think through the true electric car, especially when it comes to charging.  With a gas car, you fill up the tank.  No biggie.  But how long does is take to “fill up” a battery?  If these students have anything to do with it, not long.

I like the idea I heard that treats battery packs like propane canisters for your grill – instead of refilling/charging, you’d just swap out an empty for a new one.
