Tesla has charging speeds up to 20 minutes for 0-50%.
Out of curiosity....would another 20 minutes charge it up completely, or does the charging process slow down? Or do you know? I think it would be a good thing if we could go electric, but with the much higher cost of electric vehicles, I just don't see it happening for awhile, much less in the next 8 years.

You can fully charge the Tesla battery at one of their super chargers in less than 30 min. They'd are fairly easy to find with their navigation systems.
The new Teslas coming out soon are in the $35k range I believe.

The charging time of any battery follows an exponential curve slowing more as the total charge increases. That is why they quote the 0-50% time of 20 minutes, it looks fast when in reality a full 100% charge would be hours.
