And if you're doing a really long drive, it can charge enough to get you another 400km in a little over 15 minutes on a 350 kW charger. If that kind of performance can come down in cost in the next decade and find its way into normal passenger vehicles, then public charging infrastructure won't need to be all that robust.

The thing with EV's is efficiency/drag really matters. Merc just ran theirs 1000km on a charge. So yes, these highly efficient sedans have big benefits. I wonder if because of that, EV's will usher in a new age of smaller lower vehicles? That'd be nice. But it also means a ski box or bike rack are going to be vicious on range.
