I wonder what chemistry those batteries are. The LiFePo4 batteries in my car can be charged at a maximum of 4C, which means that they could be charged full in 15 minutes. I'm not sure that would be so good for them, but you could do it. I know other chemistries have different properties, but I don't know of one that would allow for a 10C charge. That's a CRAZY amount of current, but it would sure be sweet.
One of the big problems I see coming is getting the massive number of volts needed for a multi-car fast charger to the point of sale. Hopefully that will include enough safe guards that we won't often see people demonstrating that anything with enough carbon in it and enough voltage through it will glow.
