Fast chargers are already a thing. Those are used on road trips. For your wall box at home 11 KW are completely fine. All you need to do is get the battery full overnight. You don't need huge charging speeds for that.

I don't have an EV, and my experience trying to charge rentals has been miserable. There is a lot of room for improvement.

There definitely is. It's still the worst aspect of owning an EV, especially if you don't have your own charger. But I still would never ever want to drive an ICE car again.
