Comments on: Aerovironment Unveils 800kW EV Charger http://gas2.org/2009/08/04/aerovironment-unveils-800kw-ev-charger/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

The real issue is cooling. Even if your pack is 96% efficient during an 800kW rapid charge, that's 32kW of heat to dissipate, the output of a large home furnace. 800kW is really a mind-bogglingly large amount of power.

An electric "filling station" would not have to carry a huge inventory of charged-up units to be swapped in and out of an e-car.
