Comment on GBatteries (YC W14) let you charge your car as quickly as visiting the pumpparent

The Porsche Taycan and the future Audi e-tron GT can make use of 350 kW chargers to get to 80% charge in 15 minutes. 350 kW chargers are being deployed on the Ionity and Electrify charger networks now:

Volkswagen probably will be the biggest producer of battery electrics within 3 years. They own 12 car brands (including Porsche and Audi https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/brands-and-models.html). VW also has a stake in Ionity and they own Electrify America and Electrify Canada.

If this charging technique really does work then I imagine VW will license it.
