I wonder what the use case is going to be for these? Article doesn't seem to say. Seems to me like it'd be a good solution for short haul driving. Not so much for long haul given a 150 mile range.

Edit to add: It'd be cool to see a stronger push for a better DC fast charging nationwide come on the heels of something like this. But that's probably overly hopeful.

My guess: Long haul to just outta town depot, with a electric last mile.
