    @ninthant in some ways I get the feeling that MCS-capable cars are just waiting for long haul electric trucks to get some traction in the market. Here the MCS makes a lot more sense and there is a financial gain to be had for the company if they can increase the practical daily range.

      Yes exactly. A lower total cost of ownership taxi or delivery fleet or long haul trucking could provide the incentive for this type of deployment.

      Because as the grandparent comment suggests, for routine use this type of infrastructure is not worth the expense. But once it’s there, that opens up possibilities for broader use cases.
