The peak charging power during the test reached 1100kW, and even after the battery reached 80% SOC, it still maintained over 500kW.

    Gasoline needs a precise air/fuel ratio to ignite, it doesn’t have a huge potential to want to transfer energy away to anything in proximity.

    this makes no sense. If you have fast charging, why do you need a big battery?

      Yes, and it forms fumes in those ratios as soon as it spills. A puddle of gasoline is flammable. And once it ignites, it creates a runaway condition where the heat output of the reaction ignites the fuel around it, too.

      If you have fast charging, why do you need a big battery?

      Road trips. Being able to drive 4-5 hours between stops is better than being able to drive 2-3 hours, even if you don’t have to stop for all that long. Small fuel tanks are annoying in gasoline powered vehicles, even if a fill up can be less than 3 minutes.
