E-GMP (EV6, Ioniq5) actually charges quite fast on 400V as they run it through the motor/inverter which already pumps out more than 100kW
I think no one else is doing that at the moment.

Wait, what? They're converting their motor controller into a 400V-800V DC transformer?

The E-GMP solution is also a clever one. I believe the inverter is limited to about 150 kW sustained (I think it can peak a little higher to the motors). 150 kW isn't bad but it's also a fair ways away from the 230 kW E-GMP will do on 800V.
