Comment on All aboard! UK's first rapid-charging battery train launches in London

The fast charging at the platform is the most interesting thing here, three and a half minute top ups are up there for turnaround times. If it proves to not excessively degrade the battery with high number of charges then it makes much longer routes with charging points as and where local infrastructure can support a charging point. Would greatly reduce the cost and disruption to implement proper electrification for routes that would struggle to justify it otherwise.
