The devices could theoretically be recharged at a station in a few minutes. “ The discharged electrolyte is simply pumped out and replaced with recharged fluid. The pumped-off electrolyte can be recharged at the gas station, for example, using a wind turbine or solar plant ,” says engineer Jens Noack from ICT.
