That's a very different issue, that would be caused by the increasing number of EV. And that issue would be the same with or without faster charging.
Without the faster charging, obviously more stations are needed.
As I already stated, the charging speed has very little impact on the cumulative load on the grid.
It's not exactly the same. Space where you put charging stations is usually limited. With higher power chargers, the entire charging infrastructure will require more power. Which means "thicker" cables. Sure, globally the power requirement are the same.
