We're about halfway there already, just by cooling: 250km in under 4 min (1).

I love that electric vehicle charging can be expressed in speeds (that is, distance divided by time). 250km/4min is 3750km/h, a touch over Mach π.

I like this. Woah, your car charges at 4000 kilometers a hour? Mine only does 3000!

This is incredibly exciting. The biggest hurdle as yet to mass adoption.
So what do we stand to gain?
At least a slight improvement in efficiency of transmission. And a huge improvement due to simpler heat dissipation needs.
So this might mean way faster battery charging - like 500 miles worth of charge in 5 mins. We’re mainly limited by how hot the batteries get during charging.
