From the Article: Our goal is to give drivers an experience they're familiar with, and that is being able to pull into a station, charge their battery and be on their way in about 10 minutes," said Argonne chemist and battery expert Ira Bloom, who sees this happening in the near future. DOE's Vehicle Technologies Office is demonstrating its commitment to this effort through a $15 million funding opportunity announced Oct. 24.
If and I mean If, NEAH gets some of that funding then we will know its their battery that sparked the "in the near future" comment.

Summarizes the NREL team's findings on how battery, vehicle, infrastructure, and economic factors impact XFC feasibility
Speeding up battery charging is crucial to improving the convenience of owning and driving an electric vehicle (EV). The Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is collaborating with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and industry stakeholders to identify the technical, infrastructure, and economic requirements for establishing a national extreme fast charging (XFC) network.
A series of articles in the November 2017 issue of the Journal of Power Sources summarizes the NREL team's findings on how battery, vehicle, infrastructure, and economic factors impact XFC feasibility.

I contacted the PI (Ira Bloom) and here is his update on this project:
Greg: It took a while to get the CRADA paperwork in place. The CRADA was fully executed on 4/18/2017. We received the initial samples for characterization from NEAH Power. The samples were shipped to us on 5/26/2017 and were received in June. The baseline material was characterized in terms of microstructure; these results were shared with NEAH by e-mail and discussed with them on a phone call on 7/10/2017. We continue to characterize their materials and should have more results to share with them by the end of the week. --Ira
So, it looks like things are now on track and the project is underway.
