Journal gpronger's Journal: Fast Charging Batteries
MIT's journal reports that their one of their materials research teams, led by Gerbrand Ceder have re-engineered the design of batteries to allow charging of lithium batteries from hours to minutes (http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/battery-material-0311.html). The research appears in the March 12th issue of Nature (Byoungwoo Kang & Gerbrand Ceder authors http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v458/n7235/abs/nature07853.html though you need a subscription or purchase for the full article).
The upshot of the research is that one of the obstacles to electric vehicles is simply the battery recharge time.
