“The goal is to quickly cram enough power into a battery without it exploding.”

My solution is to have replaceable batteries like you have with battery powered tools. The “filling stations” would just replace your battery.

How long you figure to replace ‘your battery’?

“ The “filling stations” would just replace your battery”

Ther was a video from Tesla some time ago where they demonstrated this very thing. You pull into a bay like at jiffy lube. They unbolt the battery core from the bottom of the car and swap it out with a charged core. They showed it in split screen alongside a normal car filling up with gas. The battery swap was about a minute quicker than the fill up. Pretty cool. I can’t imagine what it would take to set up enough of these stations. Of course back in the day you didn’t have gas stations on many corners like now. Maybe in a few years there will be such a system in place.
