It's never about charging speed where the problem is. Most people can park long enough where even 250kw is sufficient. And really the problem of 1000kw chargers comes down to cost. It's almost cost-prohibitive to have 1000kw-capable power lines going into one place, let alone building a network.

There are 2 solutions now to provide 1mw charger, neither very cost-effective for massive rollout.

On my recent drives up to Whistler, I'd always pick the cheaper charger in Squamish vs. the faster V3.5 charger in Whistler. The difference between 10min vs. 15min isn't the problem. We need more chargers. Speed is never an issue as long as it's decent. Most people are concerned about availability rather than speed.
