So, refueling would be like doing a drive through quick oil change. Sounds expensive and labor intensive unless the vehicle is designed with standardized ports for such a thing, and then you’d have to build the infrastructure, all the “oil change” shops.

I'd be interested in seeing the solution, because they'd be trying to pump in an electrically charged liquid (probably without having it in contact with air, btw) that doubles as something that would dissolve flesh (and tires, probably). It would be *at least* as complicated as hydrogen pressurized refueling.

The notion is similar though -- with either one, the hydrogen or electrolyte would be recycled at the station, for reuse by later customers, and using electricity -- no delivery vehicles. And the speed and convenience of hydrocarbon fuel fillups (gasoline or diesel). Actually, more convenience, because liability concerns would likely mean a return to the good old days of the friendly neighborhood guy in a hat coming out from the building to fuel one's vehicle.
