No it wouldn't. Battery tech isn't the limitation on home charging speed at all. It's the power available at your house that limits charging speed.
This tech would only help cars charge faster at dedicated charging stations.
I dont think there's a single dedicated charging station in the world that supports that speed of charging either.
Well duh the vehicle and battery doesn't exist yet, so of course their aren't any chargers! The charging standards will have to be developed concurrently with the vehicle and deployed slowly over years.
Most countries in the world's entire electrical grid wouldn't be able to handle a full ev-ification of the nation's cars as is- let alone replacing every single one of those cars with chargers that suck enough energy to charge 3~ of the normal modern ev's range (250mi~) in 10 minutes (2x faster than the fastest modern evs) at once.
It would be taking a problem we already don't have infrastructure to solve yet- and tripling it.
