Two minutes is shorter than most pumps I've been to recently (and seems to be the theoretical max fill rate). Seems stations are using one actual pump for multiple dispensers. Meaning that it takes more like 5 minutes to actually fill my car from empty. Also, there's the "good enough" argument - 5 minutes gets you to the point where there's no perceivable difference.

5 minute charging would be a game changer. That means urban dwellers could use EVs the same as gas engine cars and that road trips look exactly the same as they do now (presumably gas stations would add EV stations with enough market penetration). This cable isn't the big issue in making that happen, but it's needed. Battery chemistry and power distribution become factors at that point, but we're on the way to solving those issues too
