I’m pretty sceptical about ground effect planes, there’s a very good reason why they’ve never really taken off, despite so many countries and organisations giving them a try over the years, but I’d love to know what everyone else thinks.

Haha can’t believe I didn’t think of that. I guess there is a battery pack in each wing, no reason not to plug in two chargers.
I also didn’t consider that while EV hyper chargers pull a lot of power, the sites often have multiple, so a larger amount of power is available than what is going through one charger. Charging is probably not as big of a deal as I originally assumed.
Probably the only limitation is how they prevent the battery getting too hot during charging, but I’m pretty sure a lot of EVs already have active battery cooling so an extension of that is probably fine as well.
I don’t know if they split the pack, or just have multiple chargers working side by side. I know Tesla have done similar when testing the Semi, just use multiple chargers at once.
The vehicle being charged already tells the charger what to do anyway.
