They're charged with power, which is current x voltage.
No, they are charged by currents. The normal power source for capacitor charging is a constant current source, one in which the voltage follows the desired current. The least desirable source is a constant-voltage supply, which (in the ideal case) will deliver infinite current at time zero.
The voltage on a capacitor is the time integral of past applied currents. The ideal charging scheme is a constant current source, which cuts off as the capacitor's voltage limit is reached.

Sorry for the late reply, I am traveling.
