If they charge over the CCS connector, and pull the maximum amount of power (which you would want to for the fastest speeds), then it would be the equivalent of having 15 houses maxing out their connections (CCS maximum charge rate is 350kW, a typical house with a 100A connection can pull around 24kW before blowing the fuse).
As for the fast charging you suggest, I'm guessing to achieve a 0-80% charge time of 8 minutes they have very small batteries and they just charge them more often.
A 0-80% charge in 8 minutes with either the Yutong or eCitaro would require a charge rate of around 3.6MW, to put that into perspective, Kielder Water can generate around 6MW.
In the UK we dont have the infrastructure for electric cars and the GOV aren't in a hurry to sort that out, So I cant imagine their will be any grants for this type of stuff, unless its in London.
