Por que a recarga rápida de veículos elétricos só atinge 80% da capacidade de armazenamento das baterias?

Não importa a quantidade máxima de energia que uma bateria de íons de lítio possa armazenar. Se um veículo movido à propulsão elétrica for plugado em uma fast charging station (estação de recarga rápida), por volta de trinta minutos depois, a bateria possuirá 80% de sua carga completa.

Após atingirem esta capacidade, o processo de recarga até atingir os 100% se torna mais lento, mas por que isto acontece? Por que a velocidade de recarga de uma bateria de íons de lítio varia conforme o SoC (State of Charge ou estado de carga)? A resposta é puramente científica.
