That is what the 800 Volt is for, the higher the voltage the more power you can deliver with the same amps. Otherwise the charge cable gets too thick to handle.
Two hours of driving fast on the Autobahn, then a 15 minute charging break, then 2 hours of hard driving again gets you from Hamburg to München in one afternoon. You can't do that much faster in any other car. Even Tesla cannot match this.

The BMW i3 uses suicide doors too. I'll probably be picking up a used i3 in 2-3 years when the leased vehicles start coming back.
The Porche looks nice, but where is the price tag? I'm guessing it doesn't look too nice, so they didn't want to display it. I would be surprised if this even makes it into production.

Concept cars are priceless
This car is not about affordability. If it ever comes to market it aims for the group of buyers that would be put off if it were affordable.
This car shows that electric cars have reached the point where you can drive them all day, any way you want, without compromise. Save a quarter hour now and then.

Fifteen minutes is only a drink and a pack of chips longer than typical gasoline refill times.
