    It’s the 75kW on a DC charger thats slow, decade old cars are getting better speeds than that and cars a couple of years old are 200kW+ on DC with some peaking at 300kW.

    The 7kW AC charging is also annoying because they limit it by using single phase charging, especially if you’re in a country where 32A single phase current is not normal in residential areas. Then you’re limited to 16A which is only 3.5kW, meaning you can barely charge it in a night. There is just no good reason to do single phase charging on new cars.
