Nissan, with a hefty proprietary looking connector

These look like they could be quite 'exciting' if anything untoward
happened during charging ... the charge station has to handshake with
the car's ECU before it will dish out the juice (500V DC @ 125A)

It allegedly takes a Nissan Leaf to 80% charge in 30 minutes.

Doesn't beat 5 minutes to put 500 miles worth of fuel in a normal car,
though, which does, admittedly, cost a bit more.
