Not to mention that a 160 mile range is way more than people drive on average daily, so they can always recharge it overnight. Only time you'll have to worry is on a long trip somewhere. That also isn't a huge problem. If you drive 300 miles straight, chances are you're willing to take a 30 minute rest stop anyways.

Thats a recharge in the same way using a jerry can when you're out of gas is a refill. Those batteries will be at least 40 kWh capacity. So, to fully recharge them in 45 minutes would require it to be delivered at a rate of over 50 kW/h. Thats 10x what a house is normally using. I don't think the power lines to a house are capable of delivery power at that rate.
