If we removed the reference to "the most high tech" , then yes that is a common problem of what is commonly in use today ... but not because the most high tech can't do it... more like because the tech being used can't do it.
Ultra-Fast charge system , To recharge to about ~80% in about 1 minute is old tech ... about ~8 years old now...

Even Lab prototypes of pushing that down to ~10 seconds ... are no longer cutting edge at ~4 years old ...

There are of course good reasons why most common battery systems are not built to do this ... but if you want to talk about "most high tech" ... well with the door that open all kinds of possibilities are available ... even if not being used for various reasons.

Better Place is already trying to deploy that very things ... progress is slow.
