Not to mention all this conversion, charging and discharging will itself waste huge amounts of energy.
Plus, if you need many megawatts worth of batteries (fitting many different vehicles), you're already investing a huge, huge amount of money, making it commercially unfeasible.

The only way I see a proper business running is to run a proper 2-10 megawatt power plant, right at the charging station, it could be solar (land & investment will be expensive), biogas, or maybe just connected to a commercial, industrial level grid if all else fails.

"getting this tech to your driveway" ... Hardly. To get this tech to your driveway involves over a megawatt for a four minute charge, nearly 1.5 for a three minute charge of a 70kWH battery. The only feasible way to do that is with a battery. And the only battery that can supply power like that is the one you swap into your vehicle. So you charge it for 8 hours at 9kW then swap it in using some sort of automated system, taking maybe two minutes. Any old battery tech will work for that.

This tech only helps with *very* high speed commercial charging stations, way faster than most out there. Like five times as high as a Cybertruck charging station.

No milestone at all. Instead of making it better and better, they should make it production ready. That way they can claim that in 2050 charging will be 1 minute but still no one will see their product.
