How much battery life do you lose if you always fast charge? I thought batteries strongly prefer the kind of slow overnight charging that needs a garage.

Tesla used to tell users to avoid overusing the fastchargers, but they no longer include such language on the site.
A recent study by Recurrent Auto which looked at data from 12,500 Tesla vehicles said that there is "no statistically significant difference in battery degradation between Tesla Model 3 vehicles that charged at least 90% of the time using Superchargers and Model 3 vehicles that charged no more than 10% of the time using Superchargers."
Other brands might have different technology and might degrade differently. Tesla's aren't the fastest chargers, so perhaps the data for Ioniq or Porshe would be different.

We're actually pretty close to that already. the Ioniq 6 Long Range adds 340km of range in 16 minutes. [0] The Porsche Taycan Plus adds 330km in 17 minutes [1]
