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.
