OP “newsminimalist” source seems to be a CTV article which is from the AP: https://apnews.com/article/china-ev-charging-competition-us-...

On the other hand, newsminimalist does link related articles at the bottom which is nice.

good that there is some chinese-driven progress. Maybe in 10 years everyone charges his electric car in 10 Minutes 0-100%. At this point we really can not forsee the future anymore.. Even the idea of inductive charging on public parking places is charming.

+100miles range in 10 minutes and 10-80% in 20 minutes has been available for 5 years now.

It's already practical IMO. Pushing it lower starts becoming more about removing excuses ICE drivers say, rather than solving problems that EV drivers have.

At current deployment rates, China could replace all of their petrol stations with EV chargers in five years. I think it’s likely they go faster. After that, the world.
