Three, as De La Soul effortlessly laid out for us all those years ago, is the magic number. Three minutes, in this case: the charging time for 62 miles of range for an electric car, direct from a new super-fast, prototype charging station in Bavaria. And in 15 minutes, this charging station will have completely recharged your electric car. Well, nearly recharged 80 per cent, which is as good as full anyway. The aim is to make recharging EVs as easy as filling up a tank of fuel. No guarantee that the person queued up in front of you at the station won"t also be conducting a weekly shop, mind. This new prototype charging station is a joint project headed up by BMW. It"s joined by Porsche, Siemens, Allego and Pheonix Contact E-Mobility, and this consortium reckons that 450kW is the key to driving down those recharging times, because it"s between three and nine times the capacity of today"s DC fast-chargers.
