Andrey Gurlenov said it will be possible to completely charge an electric car from zero to 100% in 20 minutes with its use

MOSCOW, July 2. /TASS/. Sitronics Electro is developing an ultrafast charge station that will recharge an electric car in twenty minutes, CEO Andrey Gurlenov told TASS in an interview.

Concerning the ultrafast stations under development, we are now finalizing creation of a prototype and will hold tests and follow-up work until the end of the year.
