An issue with these quick charge stations that hasn't really been talked about much has to do with number of users. With the current low number of users I suspect that showing up at a quick charge station and grabbing a 30 min charge isn't too much hassle. What's that going to look like when you arrive at the quick charge station and there aren't enough chargers for cars. Your 30 minute charge may turn into 90 min + waiting for your 30 minute charge. When I arrive at a busy gas station I may have to wait 5 min for a pump, the odd time I've had to wait 20 min for a diesel pump because of a couple of trucks and I was losing my mind....sorry but I'm impatient. There are a lot of hurtles to over come before the EV is the dominant mode of transportation I suspect.
