Last year Finland announced a new EV charger that would charge the EV battery in 15 minutes. No word on the immediate or lifetime damage to the battery.

I read that you don't want to use Tesla superchargers too often. It'll destroy your battery.

Fast charging any lithium ion battery will reduce it’s capacity (EVs and phones). The more you do it, the sooner you will have to replace the battery. Also recommendations are to keep the charge level between 20% and 80% for longest life. Doing that means you actually get 60% of the advertised range.
