I'm not into the latest EV power transfer technology, but that's more than the rating of a neighborhood distribution transformer per car. That's an insane amount of power to have someone casually handling. Would there be additional rules like in a gas station when charging up? Those cables and connectors must be massive as well.
A lot (most?) new EVs support 200+kW charging and there are quite a lot of 400kW chargers around already.
Plenty of stations handle this already. Power distribution in industrial areas is already quite high. Also, the cables and connectors are a lot smaller than you think… most 250kW+ stations use liquid cooled cables so they’re relatively flexible.
