It would actually be neat if the quick-charge technology could be installed as an in-pavement system located underneath major stops (where buses would always make a stop). Pull to the stop, mate with the charger, charge, and away you go.

Such a system could also be applied to LRVs to eliminate the unsightly overhead in urban/downtown areas.
