What kind of connectors does it use? 250 kW isn't much for a truck-sized battery.

I see a substation of sorts was required to supply that enormous capacity. What percent of utilization is required to break even on the fixed and variable costs? I think I read somewhere that DCFC typically requires 1/3rd utilization, meaning 8hrs of billable charging per day to break even.

...might as well install the chargers on I-5 so the trucks can top up during the 5hr "rush hour" where I-5 converts to a parking lot.
