The Empires hope their CCS 350kW will jump over Tesla's current 145 Superchargers.
At the 2017 CES, in a guerilla-action Tesla surprises everyone. An independent EV charging station manufacturer and charging network operator unveiled a 400 kW DC fast-charging infrastructure! Chargepoint displayed their system with a Tesla-type adapter!

Elon Musk teases about a 'Supercharger V3' and jokes "A mere 350 kW, what are you referring to, a children's toy?" He is planning to have greater than 350kw charging system and a robotic snake cable for autonomous charging at these stations. Explains why he is abandoning the 'battery swap' idea because he will have the capability to provide plenty kW's in a few charging minutes.
