I'm just brainstoming here, but maybe tracks could install fast chargers and make a profit?
A Taycan can recharge from 5% to 80% in about 15 minutes & the newer batteries will shave some time off of that ...
As for lithium-ion battery fires, no special equip is need for a Li-ion fire: foam extinguisher, CO2, ABC dry chemical, powdered graphite, copper powder, or sodium carbonate just as you would any other fire.
Class D extinguishers are only for lithium-
metal fires, not lithium-ion batteries.
I would guess once one track puts in a fast charger, they'll get all of the EV business and then all of others will follow ... but the thing is there probably isn't the demand yet.
