Reply to comment by 40for60 in A breakthrough in electric vehicle battery design has enabled a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV battery. The record-breaking combination of a shorter charge time and more energy acquired for longer travel range was announced today by Wagamaga

After doing some more digging it looks like the study I mentioned used Nissan Leafs which don't have a robust thermal management system for their batteries (they are air cooled) so newer EVs probably perform much better.

right, the heat would be a issue if they weren't managing the thermals and since batteries are getting much bigger the cycles are going down so there is less strain on the cathodes along with cathodes just getting better. I think most batteries will far out last the suspensions and bodies of cars.
