If I had an EV I wouldn't need to charge it in 4 minutes at home. 4 hours would be fine.
But I'd love it if a charge would take only 4 minutes en route, at the 'gas' station.
Suppose the charging stations need to charge 120 cars per hour.
They'd be able to do that with 8 4-minute chargers, or 120 1-hour chargers.
They'd draw the same power from the grid, but the charge station infrastructure needed for the first setup would be much less.
4 minute charging means you don't have to charge at home, as charging on the go won't set you back for more than a few minutes.
