“So that [charging in 12 minutes] is actually the number we’re solving for,” he said. “Do we need to charge in five minutes? The answer is probably no.”

Saying “we don’t need faster charging” isn’t very convincing - especially when only the competition offers it. If Mercedes-Benz were the one offering megawatt charging, it would suddenly be marketed as the next big thing.

And I believe that we need to solve megawatt charging for a breakthrough of electric trucks and buses.
