Bastø Electric uses batteries with a capacity of 4.3 MWh. The fast-charging system has a capacity of 9 MW, according to the shipping company.
Not sure exactly how they do it but another ferry used on-shore batteries as a buffer[2], not unlike decoupling capacitors in electronic circuits. I agree a deep dive in the charger infrastructure would be interesting.
