Sodium Batteries
Not sure about the source but looks a bit optimistic...
Scientists develop sodium battery that can be charged in seconds (msn.com)

Let em knock themselves out. Can you imagine the size of the battery they test? (the math involved) ?
Think Sodium is the new Nuke power station too! You know heat it at Yellowstone, so good.
Remember Chemistry, Metal Sodium love H2O. Crackle Pop.
I will just guess that Moisture infiltration due to rust is a huge problem here in Ice/snow/salt/Calcium Chloride parts of the world.

Sodium batteries were used in the space programs decades ago........... IMHO, you have to be nuts to look at anything like that for consumer use.... sodium violently explodes if exposed to the air!

Sodium ion batteries have been around for some time now and in limited numbers have been used in some proof of concept prototypes.
Chinese players like CATL and BYD have been going at it for some time, but I don't think anyone has come close to marketing a viable mass production product with it, never mind fast recharging variants.

Oh snap... your right. Well scratch that technology off the short list.

Most likely this has a mass manufacturing probability of good!
Solid-state battery - Wikipedia
The Downside is Cost and difficulties to mass produce them.
The upside are probabilities of great service life.
