I beg to differ.
Charging time is still a strong deterrent for a lot of people considering EV instead of ICE vehicles.
I'd be happy to have such capabilities available, because I often charge my EV away from home and it'd be nice to have it done even faster, although I'm quite ok with 10-80% (equalling close to 300 km/190 miles) in around 20 minutes.
Most people don't drive 500 miles regularly. Most people can wait 15 minutes to charge and then go on their way. Most existing chargers are good enough and won't be upgraded any time soon.
That is true, but at least for now, there are many people who would wish for 5 minute charging. I guess people here love to lecture that you don't need it, while the Chinese like byd and catl just build what the people want.
