Worlds largest electric ferry connecting to a automatic robotic charger station
Here it says "5 minutes" for charging (15 minutes trip):

"At nearly 98 meters long and 16 meters wide, the Elektra can transport up to 90 cars per trip. The ferry purchased by FinFerries will now be traveling this route every 15 minutes. The batteries will be charged in roughly five minutes while cars move off and onto the ferry. The two lithium-ion batteries each have a capacity of 530 kWh. "
- jacquesm 5y agoSo this one having 7 times larger batteries charged via the same connection would charge in a bit over 30 minutes on a trip like that, and on the route that it is planned for probably more like several hours, which seems reasonable given that they also need to load and unload.
