A home battery that can trickle charge off peak time and then fast charge the car battery.
But for oommercial fast charging stations each should have its own coal powered generator on site:)
Coal powered propeller makes wind for wind generators when the wind isn’t blowing
While that would help, you would also need an infrastructure of capacitor charging stations across the country or the advance is very limited.

“To do so would require a power withdrawal from the grid and storage in a battery of some sort. Please explain how such a feat is physically possible in under two minutes. It’s not.”
Ummm, maybe another super capacitor in the garage slow charging to fill up the vehicle? How long does it take to drive 300 miles? That’s the minimum time requirement to charge-up the refill battery.
Unlikely.
Setting aside issues of power generation (how to make it?) and power transmission (how to get it where you want it), I'd think that the heat such a process would generate would be prohibitive.
A simple accident could create a huge lightning bolt.
That is seriously scary.
Unless these batteries use less cobalt there will still be a shortage that could limit the number of batteries produced.

Haven’t heard about super caps over coming the physics of the time constant yet that’s a function of the capacitance.
Capacitance may be huge but dumping all the energy is governed by the time constant.
What’s the time constant in a vaporous state?
They generally explode like a propane tank for a rural home.
Not good for driving around.
I was thinking the other way. You charge them with a lightning rod. Zap! Full charge.
I’ll never own an elecrical car.
Really bad for the environment.
A capacitor is not a battery. A battery is not a capacitor.
Capacitors lose their charge over time.
Find another solution.
Precisely 1.21.
They have a nickname: Electric Pintos.
Stay upwind.
Sounds dangerous, you go first
I thought you said never cross the streams?
In before the first “Mr. Fusion” flux capacitor pic...
A capacitor is an energy reservoir, but what material could be charged at that rate and not generate heat, potentially increase resistance, melt, etc.
Guess these questions are why it would be a breakthrough.
