When you have so much battery capacity. You have a lot power to spare (discharging or charging). If they use the full capacity in two hours without counting the reserve the rate of discharge is 0,5C. And the chare rate is 1C. That is not much workload for most of the popular cells. But you need a extremely big super charger.

Yes, for example, some of the Teslas can "take about 20 minutes to charge to 50%,
40 minutes to charge to 80%, and 75 minutes to 100% on the original 85 kWh Model S".
