goes 30 miles and charges in 10 minutes.
also read where they are interested in putting up overhead charging wires at bus stops so these things wont even need 10 minutes, just charging up on every stop.

Be interesting to see how that plays out since that region not too long ago was experiencing frequent power shortages.
