I just checked FWIW:

Washington DC Metrorail runs 660kW at 750VDC. Arithmetic says WMATA trains are pulling 880Amps.

This charging station is delivering approximately half the current of a WMATA train car, at roughly the same voltage. That’s some serious power. Switching it is going to be interesting. Cooling the battery and the charger is also going to be interesting.

I’m impressed with how far they’ve come with batteries and battery charging. I’m also impressed with the ease, safety, and simplicity of delivering a whole lot of kWHr through a gasoline hose ...
