"Even so, stable batteries for rapid recharging are a requisite for electric cars."
Requisite? Does he mean that fast charging is a requisite before electric cars can be viable? I think not.
Tesla's charging station is a compromise, and I think a good one. It's substantially better than simply using a 220v drier outlet or, heaven forbid, 110v home outlets. At the same time it's relatively inexpensive and easy to deploy within the limits of today's power grid, in comparison with some sort of "fast charge" station.
