However, no one will pay for a charger large enough to charge a car in 5
minutes. It would cost ten or twenty times more than the car.
Such a charger would be as big as a sea container.
Well, not THAT bad. But still, pretty big and expensive!
If I had to do this (especially for a demonstration project), I'd use a
second set of the same batteries as a "dump pack". Have the dump pack
all charged and waiting. Parallel the two, perhaps with enough
resistance to limit the current.
