"demonstrating the capability of fully charging the pack in less than ten minutes......"

"Boss, I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we developed a battery capable of being fully charged in less than ten minutes."

"The bad news is it requires a substation-sized power supply operating at 14,700 volts and 600 amps. We're still working on the plug design."

They are called "load break elbows". Been around for a few decades.

Actually a 4160v 100a service xfrmd to 460v, charging from one leg 270v using wires as big as your wrist should do it.
