When it comes to electric vehicles, the batteries are not the limiting factor in charge times. They haven't been for a long time and probably never will be.
You could have a battery that can suck up, say, 30kWh in two seconds flat - but since you'll never find a 7500 Amp, 4160 volt outlet to get that 54 Megawatts of power from it's totally meaningless.
Might be great for smaller devices but it's a non-starter for electric vehicles.
