Are they trying to make viable EV pit stops for racing?
I guess this would make ridiculously sized batteries for semis viable. Though I'd rather pivot back to freight trains than put that much weight on our roads.
Semis are responsible for most of the road repair budget in the US. There's a cheaper way. (If the government didn't pick up the tab for all this semi road damage.)
Those chargers are useful for the next generation consumer EVs.

Alas, the BYD ones will be hard to get by in the USA. Unless some American EV manufacturers can keep up with the Chinese EV manufacturers, ICE cars will be "recharged" faster than EVs - mission accomplished, I guess.
