Charging from 10 to 98 percent took just six minutes and 27 seconds. The more standard 10-80 percent time takes just three minutes, 44 seconds. Only have a minute to plug in? Still sufficient to get from 10 to 35 percent state of charge.

The automated parking system uses a robotic arm to plug in a Level 2 charging cable. When the car finishes charging, the robotic arm unplugs the cable, and the EV is moved to another parking spot automatically.

That never happened, but other companies have risen to the challenge and are now offering fully featured products.
