>>a requirement was an hour of continuous use followed by an hour of high-speed charging, then another hour of continuous use.

Seems good enough for most people daily drivers

As an average driver, I like to drift and burn a set of tires when I commute to the office.

That’s a much better way to bring donuts to the office

This is good enough for a race track!

I'm sure that a very fast battery swap mechanism can be implemented, for pit stops. If you can do that, you don't even need that fast of a recharge. Nobody tried to retread their tires, after all - you just get new ones.

Which is good, since this is a one-off race car designed for the track :)
