Charging an EV faster than filling a gas guzzler? Surely not!?

The ability to charge an electric vehicle in just a couple of minutes is the 'game changer' that car makers and car drivers are all waiting for. Batteries will always take time to charge up, but capacitors can store charge instantly. The challenge is creating one with enough energy density to make a real difference. Now a team in the USA has taken a very big step towards that goal.
