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

A supercapacitor might be OK but I can't see diffusion limited
chemical reactions tolerating superfast charging without a much
shortened life.

Exactly. The laws of physics/chemistry (governing charging rates) are
more immutable than the law of the land (you will not buy a
petrol/diesel car after a certain date).


Sadly its already been achieved. Sub 5 minute charging has been done in
the lab,. and sub 3 minute discharging is reality on every single flight
battery I have bought this year

This is not pie in the sky, It's achievable - albeit at a cost and
weight and lifetime penalty.
