Fastest Charging Electric Bus

Yes, this is what they’re talking about doing at Stanford University as well.

Keep in mind that providing a 5 KM range in 10 seconds (at 1.2 KW/KM, even assuming 100% efficiency) requires charging with 2 MW of electrical power (!).  Personally, I won’t want to be in the same zip code as that bus when this is taking place.  But maybe that’s just me.
