For a smaller EV It would take around 200kWh worth of battery for a 600 mile range. The current Tesla "superchargers" put out 250kWh. So whatever is going to charge this battery will have to output roughly an order of magnitude more power in order to charge the battery in 6 minutes. That's an impressive and scary amount of energy transfer.

Edit: I don't know where I got 6 minutes from. So not quite 10X the power for charging, but a LOT more than current chargers.

My wall outlet charger puts out 250 kWh, if you leave it in for 2 weeks straight...
