If the discharge rate can be equally speedy, it just means any "gas pump" will include the same battery tech, load itself slowly, then unload into the car quickly. Neat way to solve the "renewables are intermittent" problem.

That's a cool idea! But then what happens when I get to the "pump" right after someone else has used it

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Same thing as when you're on a regular pump and the tank is empty. Pump battery size depending on demand.

Either that or trickle charge.
