Impressive if it works, but I wonder if there's an electricity grid that could support it?

Quick napkin math:

- The Hyundai Ioniq 6 gets 4.2mi/kWh (6.76km/kWh) [0]

- 3000km/6.76 = 443kWh

- 443 kWh in 5 mins = throughput of 2200 kWh, times however many charging stations at a refill stop. As EVs get more prevalent every charger at a station could be in use at the same time.
