You can't have a 10kV or 100kV charging station being handled by the general public to charge their cars! That kind of voltage needs specialised equipment and is extremely dangerous. There's no such thing as a consumer grade 11KV insulated cable.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a cable. It could be rigid. You could even have a platform which moves the car up to the charger. I could see some sort of telescoping arm made of teflon though.

Do you think these 100kv cables are unusable? https://www.schleich.com/en/product/high-voltage-cables-en/ https://www.schleich.com/en/product/high-voltage-cables-en/ I mean you would need some smarts to ensure the leads are never exposed when active but otherwise I don't see the issue.

  Those do not carry enough current to charge a car faster, those are not the 100kv cables you’ll need here

    Of course. They can only handle about 1mw, but they are thin and could be scaled up.

      Er... if you say so
