Typical battery right now is around 100kwh.if it has twice the range must be twice the size,200kwh. Charge in 10 minutes,needs 1.2 megawatts of power, about 30 times the maximum household draw.

Amps times volts is power used. 1.2 Megawatts at 12 Volts is 100,000 Amps! Your typical wires would not melt , they would vaporize! It would end your battery charge real quick!

1.2 MW x 20 charging stations = 24 MW. How are they going to deliver that much power to many such “refueling” stations?

Toyota just agreed to use Tesla supercharger ports on all their EVs starting in 2025. Id assume the battery tech will be shared and/or stolen.

Yup. You'd be dealing with voltages I'd not want to be anywhere close to. Not to mention how much power a 'station' that was charging multiple cars would draw from the grid.
