I'm convinced this is the future of charging

It certainly works for my lawnmower, snow blower, and power tools. If it can scale up to vehicle batteries, it would make EVs viable in endurance motorsports as well, with a pit stop for battery swaps, instead of a whole car swap.

Precisely. And long distance drives. Refuelling in 3 minutes would no longer be exclusive to diesel/petrol.
