Curious if this is just more battery or different battery technology. I'll read the article later.

It's two battery packs, one new chemistry (manganese) higher energy density that can't provide as deep of a charge/discharge that is used for maintaining speed and another more standard Lithium Iron Phosphate that is used for higher power/acceleration.
I'm not sure why that means for charging rates or time, or wear and tear on the LFP if it's constantly being hammered whenever it is used. Sounds like a prototype now so they are probably answering those questions as well.
