The Chinese-made shooting brake achieved a peak charging rate of 546.4 kilowatts. That's more than double what the typical Tesla Supercharger can dispense in the U.S.
I doubt these will go anywhere near houses or even shops, they’re more for highway travel. I maintain that for the overwhelming majority of users in 230V countries a standard wall outlet is adequate.
In the UK, that means 13A × 230V ≈ 3kW. EVs typically do 4km per kWh, so every hour of charging gives you 4km × 3kWh = 12km. Most people’s cars are idle for over 22h a day, but let’s say they only charge overnight for 8 hours when electricity is cheap; that’s 8 × 12km = 96km range.
I’d guess that the UK, kind of line the rest of Europe, has a three phase system which usually allows up to 11 kW (16A x 230V x 3). Which is more than enough for charging at home.

I typed this on a phone and now my thumbs hurt.
