The only battery technology you can charge that fast without owning a nuclear plant is the flow battery. You just drain anode and cathode fluids from it and fill with fresh ones. Then you need to pour the old fluids into a charger and let it process them overnight so you can refill the next day. Let's wait until this tech is mature and compact enough to put into a car.
there have been battery claims of all kinds about how fast the charging and how slow it can discharge and also the self-discharge part. what matters is not the speed of the charge as much as the life cycle of the battery. if you want some high-end batteries they exist but not even close to production ready for you to stick in a car or even a converted one. you need charge stations with the same level power as an electric railway. it is much better to find a way to extract all the available energy in methane without burning it than going nuts on carbon or lithium.
This. Longevity is the issue. EVs will never have parity with IC vehicles until the power storage lasts as long as a fuel tank without having to be swapped out every four to five years at huge expense, both financial and environmental.

And it is available with a 220 volts charger?
Or you just plug it in at the nearest nuclear reactor?

Someone make sure these dudes don't get assassinated
I call vapor ware
