Solid-state cells will cut EV charging time and increase volumetric density

True, but 15 min still feels into the "small break, mild inconvenience" vs 30 min that feels like a real full stop and rest for the car to charge.

Potentially you could also just stop for 5 or 10 mins for a partial charge? 15 mins gets you to 80%, but arguably 5-10 mins might give you enough juice to very comfortably get where you need to go.

I know when I forget to charge my phone before heading out, those 5-10 min charge I squeeze before heading out might mean the difference between having battery at the end of the day, or not.

Exactly, that’s the trick!

Although I still meet people who don’t get this and needlessly keep their charge topped up while traveling, which is a lot slower.
