I know it takes about 5 minutes to fill a big gas tank now so it won't be much different.

I think we are finally in a place where something like this can be viable and finally embraced by the masses.
So many opportunities. You could charge your car while driving through the car wash. Just have a guy plug it in, and they could easily build a tension release. Your parking lot at work and at the stores will resemble the old drive in theaters

It won't be more than 10 years until we have wireless power distribution, either.

Batteries are the least advanced of all the tech we currently use. They really haven't changed much over the years, until very recently. Expect to see some radical power storage devices coming to market in the next 5 years.
