What makes you think it's impossible for a battery to charge at 60 times the rate it discharges? It's already designed to discharge at 30KW. Most batteries are an array of cells all of which would be charging in parallel so heat may not be an issue, especially if this one has a large number of cells (as previous electric cars have).
As for getting 1.8 Mega watts (DC) from your home grid, others have already mentioned the likely need for a charging station composed of other batteries or capacitors being topped off slowly.
Also, not all methods of moving charge are equal, think about this. If it takes me 1 second to swap out a car battery containing about 1.8MJ (pretty low actually), I've just "charged" my car at a rate of 1.8 MW. No heating involved.
It's too bad the battery is likely too heavy to just swap (or cycle out whatever medium is carrying the charge) as that would be the obvious solution here.
