And generally bigger battery packs can charge at higher kilowatts. Here's an electric ferry with a 4.1 MWh battery which can charge at up 6 megawatts. 600 amps at 10,000 volts:

So, like the ferry, these aircraft probably have big batteries that they charge enough to get to the next destination with a buffer for emergencies. The closer you get to 100% state of charge the slower the system will charge in order to protect the battery.
