    While the idea of this is interesting there’s some unknowns. 3000km at what efficiency? Even at 10kwh/100km that’s still a 300kwh battery. To charge that in 5 mins ignoring losses you would need a source able to supply like 3.5 megawatts.

    Looking at the largest Tesla super chargers near me of 325kw that would still take 55 minutes (again no losses).

    We are going to need massive grid investments to be able to support fast charging at scale and if batteries are going to be that large than we will need to also consider higher capacity chargers.
