Hey guys, I don’t understand enough about electronics to answer this, but if my electricity at home is able to power a washing machine.
Should it not be possible to have like a super battery that goes 100% instant, and then release normal current to the phone until it’s charged? More like an instant power bank?

It can be done but it would likely result in something expensive and not useful. The battery has to provide several key functions, it has to store energy, it has to convert (usually chemical energy) to electrical energy and it has to do this in reverse when charging.
On top of that it needs to have several characteristics, reasonably small lightweight, safe, reliable, long lasting, cost effective and sufficiently energy dense.
Putting all these characteristics into a single product isn’t easy. The first problem with “instant” phone charge is safety. Anything that can take in energy quickly also puts out energy quickly. And this results in heat and rather fiery and explosive characteristics. If more safety devices were incorporated (shielding, armor plating, safety circuits etc) it becomes a very expensive and heavy/bulky product.
This is why EV batteries have to be operated with all these things built in to handle the energy density and power.
