When they talk about these fast charge times, it's always about DC fast chargers. Home chargers (levels 1&2) simply don't need it, have never been close, and no one really cares. This is fodder for the road trip mentality, or counter-FUD to the FUD that charging is long and slow.

If it actually pans out, I'm sure we'll start to see DC fast charges advertising their speed, possibly with a premium price. It's already a detail being tracked, it just doesn't usually take a front seat.
