Generally the speed you can charge a battery pack falls off as you reach higher charge percentages. It's why a lot of manufacturers quote their fast charging times as charging to 60% or 80% not to 100%.

That means that a great way to have a car that can charge quickly to ~100 miles is to give it a ~200mi battery pack.

A Tesla Model 3 with the long range pack (310 miles rated range) can charge to 100 miles of range in under 20 minutes at a Tesla Supercharger:

Edit: Here's another example of someone getting ~100 miles in 10 minutes:
