This is the big reason why solid state batteries aren’t an EV miracle. Pack density and charging speeds these days are already limited by cooling capacity. Trying to pump a few MW of power into a battery pack to get 600 miles in 9 minutes is going to melt the car, or require lugging around a huge cooling system.
Standardized interchangeable batteries would be neat. Pull into a battery station, a machine swaps out your packs and you’re on your way faster than a fill-up.

That was one of the original tesla quick"charge" concepts. You’d drive over a pit like oil stops and it situs swap out your battery for a charged one
