could a charging site have a buffer of fast charging batteries?
The grid capacity depends only on the number of charged cars, not on their charging speeds.
The latest high-power chargers made in China that achieve the 5-minute charge times have their own batteries for providing the charge power, so they take from the grid only the average power, not the peak power.
