Most batteries also degrade faster when charged at high rates. So at home, when you have the luxury of charging overnight, it’s better to charge slower.

Right. And if you have batteries, which could take 700kW peak, but are only charged with 350kW peak, it is no longer "fast charging" in the sense of impact onto the battery.

But the big future is anyway to have the car plugged into a modest outlet when parking during the day so they can take up any excess solar power available on the grid and possibly even partially power your home over night.
