I’m still a little leery with the charge time but those are great arguments that renders the time problem moot really

Tesla won the charger standard battle because we don’t have a three phase to the end use grid we have a 1890s split phase archaic grid. Every where else you can get 400 volt triple phase to every structure even homes. The NACS aka the Tesla plug is single phase AC but up to a megawatt in DC rating. V4 superchargers already out out 350kw DC with 500 on deck with a over the air update no hardware change is needed. Going from 450V to 800v now 900v opens up huge charge rates. The limit is the battery cells can they take.3,4,5C charge rates. This is where solid state cells are set to take off. No fire risk, 5C rates, bipolar cells mean less copper/aluminum to.active materials. Most are cobalt free so no DRC...been there done that 2014 during the Ebola era as a geologist. Fun fact most cobalt in the world goes to smart phones,tablets and laptops EVs are under 6% of output. NMC cells make modern smartphones ppossible thst wouldn’t exist without the density of NMC cells period full.stop.
