They charge from 10% to 98% in 6 minutes and 27 seconds. In standard mode, it takes 3 minutes and 44 seconds to reach 80%.

This is reported by arstechnica.com, the Prompolitinform portal informs.

Everything works in the cold: at -30 °C, a full charge will take 9 minutes. The pulse self-heating and low internal resistance worked well.

The lifespan is good. Even after 1000 fast cycles, more than 90% of the capacity remains.

For such speed, a power of more than one megawatt is needed. The solution is only suitable for special stations, it can’t be installed at home.
