    "Travel chargers" like Kneissel uses, with own batteries.
    One truck could surely recharge some 30 cars in total after each stage maybe more and charge 5-8 at same time. Then you roll in next truck. Those 230 cars arrive over the span of 3++ hours.

    With charging for example after every stage you would need only a few mins (say 10), so at no point will there be too many cars at same time.

    In the end it will be a slightly bigger refueling zone, about the size of an average petrol station parking area.

    (Obviously you then drive the trucks to a place where they charge over longer period.)

    Funnily in the longer term you could also use the "public" charging infrastructure. Cause unlike (racing) fuel, electricity is the same and you can't "cheat" with it. So if not necessarily charging at normal chargers, you could have a "connecting box" (with converters and cooling), that you set up on a public fast charger (350 kw one).


    -------------

    The current ecup setup doesn't simply sound like a good (and scalable) idea. Recharging directly off grid with 12 cars at "same" time.
