Not very profitable for airlines to have planes on the ground with extended turn around times.
With current battery technology (Porsche 350 kW fast chargers and Tesla SuperChargers), about 30 minutes at the gate. In five years from now, about 20 minutes which is typical short haul turnaround time.

Thanks for asking.
