Impressive! I wish they were able to retrofit the i3 with this fast of charging - even if it's only the upcoming 120Ah model. 5 minutes to 80% charge would be amazing, easily equaling "filling a gas car" speed.

One drawback -- the charger offers more power than current models can take on. The BMW i3 limits its power intake to 50 kilowatts...

However, this probably belongs either in the Off Topic or Other Electric Vehicles forums.
