Why kit out every home? Currently it takes approx 5 mins to fill a car with
petrol, as opposed to 5 mins to charge a capacitor in this hypothetical
model. We don't have petrol bowsers in every home -- we have service
stations.

I'm not saying the story isn't snake oil -- just that this specific issue
isn't a reason to discredit it.
