Personally, I'd like to see it drop down to 5 minutes. Or maybe put solar panels on the roof to extend range (if that adds a significant amount to the range).

Actually that's not how it will work. The idea is to stop and instead of charging there will be a 5min. replacement battery swap. So batteries will always be available with a full charge at charging stations.
