    It's a great concept, but unless the DNOs start upgrading the cables and provide more subs to handle this as well as the effect of harmonics that the chargers add to the system, we are going to be stuck with 22kW and the occasional 50kW chargers for a fair while.

    Tesla announced their 250kW chargers which can provide 1000 miles of charge in an hour, but unless you live near a power station, I doubt that there is going to be additional 1MW Tx popping up all over the place.
