Assuming efficiency of ~4 miles per kWh (on the high end of current EV efficiency), that's a 200kWh battery. charging that in 10 minutes would require 1.2MW's of power, enough to power about 50-100 homes simultaneously. Now imagine a handful of vehicles charging simultaneously, consuming as much power as a small city.

Why should we assume this?

It's a fairly achievable efficiency.

They are being charitable to Toyota along the path of estimating capacity. Why shouldn't that be assumed?
