Yep, that was a very interesting story. More interesting than nuclear
fusion stories.

I dunno how much is hype, but if not it could be significant. With
massively quicker charge times it might be possible to reduce battery
capacity too. Maybe charge at traffic lights etc, with smart
infrastructure.

Plus I hardly every drive more than 50 miles in one go.

Airliners hardly ever experience more than 1.5G loading.
Do you want to fly in one that *can't* experience more than 1.5G loading
without the wings folding?
