Battery pack configurations between four and eight units (360 to 720 kWh) are possible.

the coaches can be charged [...] by cable with up to 250 kW DC (charging port available on the left or right)

Imagine drawing 250 kW and still needing three hours to fully charge...

I mean, I get that drivers need breaks anyway, so this won't be an issue for the operation, but damn, that's a lot of energy. I just think it's impressive.
