The next generation Li-ion batteries for cell phones can charge to 90% in
30 seconds, IIRC. Charging a car completely in <20 minutes isn't an outlandish proposal, and in 10 years there's no reason why we couldn't theoretically have cars that charge +20% just by driving under a "power bar" that spans the road.
