It does say the cable is only one piece of the puzzle. I think the batteries would need to be able to accept the higher current and every charging station would nee high current and liquid cooling.
the Liquid cooling seems like a show stopper due to cost.

Elon Musk has been saying this for years. We know where we want to go but we are not there yet.

This reminds me of when ***** tried fixing healthcare. Once doctors, big insurance and big pharma started screaming, that’s how you knew we were on the right track (even though he ultimately failed, but that’s for a different thread).

When emission controls were mandated in the 70s the automakers threw a tantrum saying it was impossible and would put them out of business, but really they only complained because it required them to change. Now it’s big oil’s turn because change has come for them, and nothing is more terrifying and hated than change. When you hear big oil pushing FUD and screaming about how impossible that change will be, it‘s a good sign we’re on the right track.

A couple more articles about the EV airplane:

Rolls-Royce Claims Its All-Electric Plane Is World’s Fastest

Rolls-Royce has announced that its all-electric plane, dubbed the “Spirit of Innovation,” is the fastest of its kind in the world after it reached a maximum speed of 387.4 mph (623 k/h) in recent flight tests.

400 kW (535 HP), 750 volt motor. Rolls-Royce said it uses the "most power-dense propulsion battery pack ever assembled in aerospace," with 6,480 cells.
As Engadget detailed in an explainer, electric airplanes aren't practical since current batteries are 50 times less energy dense than jet fuel. However, they do hold some promise for very short trips, like a 30 minute jaunt between Vancouver and Victoria in Canada.

Rolls-Royce's all-electric airplane smashes record with 387.4 MPH top speed

Just two months after its maiden flight, Rolls-Royce's "Spirit of Innovation" has hit a record top speed of 387.4 MPH.

If Tesla was releasing a phone, a built-out Starlink constellation would be a prerequisite. It will be entertaining to watch as Amazon enters the same space. It’s like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object in the race to disrupt Internet and cellular service as we know it today.

Some people don't like wind farms.

A few years back, we had several years of drought in Northern WI. The deer count was down, so the DNR reduced the number of doe tags available. A few of the local good ol boys responded as follows:

"The DNR screws up everything. It don't even rain right anymore."
