The peak charging power during the test reached 1100kW, and even after the battery reached 80% SOC, it still maintained over 500kW.

I mean, shit. 10-70% in 5 minutes? If that vehicle architecture and those chargers become even semi-ubiquitous, we are looking at a scenario where those EVs are road-trippable and there are no more excuses.

Of course that is asking a lot in the US at the moment.

15 minutes to charge is more than road-trippable. Start the charger, stretch, go to the bathroom, get a drink, reply to messages you've gotten and didn't respond to because you were driving and you are responsible, and it's been more than 15 minutes!
