Ever notice how two 9V batteries snap to each other quite readily?
Make nice hand warmers too... (warning: leakage hazard!)

Worldwide standardization for a high voltage DC connector, and associated communication protocols, would be very helpful for "45-60min" charging of BEVs.

This looks like a good first step in that direction:

Has there been any work to have the car automatically communicate payment information to the charger? I'd like to enter my credit card information in my car, which would store it securely, and take care of the payment details whenever I hooked up the car to any public charger.

How is payment handled currently?

Yes. For example, check out Coulomb Technologies website:

Coulomb Technologies, Inc.

On second thought, the payment info does not come from the car. However this is probably a good thing. If you lend your car to someone, they get to pay for fuel!

Putting chargers at McDonald's here in the US (OK the world) would be a great kickoff to a charging grid.

That would certainly spiff up McDonald's image.

Another charging station using IEC 60309 standard connectors.




The text says 230V, but you can see in this picture they have 230V (blue) and 400V three phase (red) available.

Is this the first public station to offer three phase? Well done McDonalds.

I don't see having a recharge station at McDonalds as being practical since people wouldn't normally be spending much time at a fast food restaurant.
