A car that could charge in 5 minutes and go 200 miles would be as useful to me as my current car. It's a start.

He's referring more to a car that could charge in 5 minutes and go 60 miles.

As I have an EV, that's closer to my current scenario of charging (once they put in a charger in the office parking lot) 4 hours and going 90 miles. The tradeoff of reduced distance for superior charge time is...irritating.

60 miles would be just short enough where I would need a gasoline car. That's why I've yet to get a Leaf. Can't afford a Tesla (nor do I want/need a car that big).
