Typical Superchargers will put out 250kW and now some will reach 350kW, with plans for 500kW
Oh, I hadn't heard that, but do you actually get that in practice? It sounds like many stations "share" a portion of the cabinet kw, so if other drivers are charging too it slows it down. Also, some testing revealed Tesla was exaggerating the kw throughput (*shocker*) of some of the chargers (https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32132062/tesla-250-kw-vs-150-kw-supercharger-tested/). And for Tesla, "planned" means "we'd like to think that we will do this in the future," like their "planned" autopilot...
But I stand by my bigger point that it is unlikely to have any kind of routine access to a 700+ kw charger in the U.S. any time soon.
