Changing "anode" fluid is one of the ways they've said we could actually use zinc-air batteries (normally they take a longer time to charge than lithium). This allows them to be "charged" within minutes instead of hours and could probably be set up at regular gas stations. It's important to try to use zinc because there just ins't enough lithium available to build enough batteries for a gazillion batteries. Zinc-air has more power, less weight, and is much more abundant/cheaper.
