Gotion, a Chinese battery manufacturer whose largest shareholder is Volkswagen, has presented remarkable progress in fast charging. There are also reports on energy density, durability and new factories.

Terms used in this article are a little different from the usual ones.
But these are solid-state batteries. And those are notoriously expensive to manufacture. No-one has cracked the manufacturing yet.
So these seem to have very good performance but manufacturing and cost might be an issue.

This article seems a bit off. It says the G-Current battery is fast-charging and will have a range of 3-400 km after ~15 minutes, whereas the Stellary battery charges slower, but that it will have a range of 350 km in 5 minutes and 600 km in 10 minutes. That's faster charging, it just maybe takes longer to get to a certain percentage, but it's clearly a larger capacity battery, so that makes perfect sense.
