The obsession with fast charging is getting tiresome.
Here in Norway we have more electric cars per head than anywhere else and most people wake up to a fully charged car.
It is really rare to need to charge the car at a public charger unless you have nowhere off road to park your car. What is most needed in most places is somewhere to charge the car overnight or while you are at work. Such chargers need no new technology, no extra infrastructure beyond a simple socket in a post beside the road or in each parking space in car parks.
Fast charging is needed for road trips, and for people who don't have access to a charger at home. (Think about people who rent or who need to park on the street)
