The truth is that the Aero EV has the CAPABILITY to be charged in ten minutes, given the right charger is provided. Consider these items: [i]AeroVironment, a company that helps build drones (unpiloted flying machines) for the U.S. military as well as earlier work on vehicles like the Sunraycer and the GM Impact, announced today that its ten-minute recharge demonstration of an Altair Nanotechnologies 35kWh battery pack was successful, and restored enough power to drive the car for two hours at 60 mph. [/i] http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/05/30/aerovironment-successfully-quick-charges-altair-nanotechnologie/ [i]The charging system is also a significant leap forward. The Terravolt system is a rapid recharge system allowing a bus to fully charge in 10 minutes. The Terravolt system can be installed along a bus route. This system facilitates buses to always stay on route and not have to go out of service to recharge at a maintenance station. A regular battery charge will last about 90 minutes for regular usage.[/i] http://www.coloradogreentech.net/meetupblog/category/transportation/fuel-efficiency/: It also appears to be attracting gov $ and private investors: http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=ueec#getNews http://www.pinksheets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=ueec#getNews Aero EV is coming!
