Carmaker Porsche has installed two 800-volt chargers at its Berlin HQ that it claims can recharge its upcoming Mission E to 80% capacity in 15 minutes - three times faster than Tesla's Superchargers. The company says the new charging stations will be able to charge a Model S P100D from zero to 60%, and then another car up to 80%. BMW, Daimler and Ford are set to build a network of 350 kW charging stations across Europe.
