Default "Electric car range anxiety to be cured by battery that chargesin five minutes"

Says the Times. How are the charging stations going to cope with that?

You can use batteries to charge batteries, as stupid as that seems.

The ten cars shown in the promo shot, can each be charged twice, before
the transport is drained. The substation for charging, only has to
meet the "average" charge delivery rate, if you use batteries to
make up the difference in rates.

The Times article would be considered click-bait, because articles
about "fast batteries" have been around for decades. There will be
an article, and... nothing happens. A reason to write articles like
this, is some lab needs venture money, and once the venture money
is all burned up, that's the last you hear of it. Rinse and repeat.
