At what point do you stop building the battery for the car and start building the entire car, battery and charger around how fast it can be fast charged, because that's kind of where it's going.

Agreed. Current DC fast charging is more then enough. The reality is most people are going to charge their EV at home. It doesn't make economic sense to pay the outrageous rates charged for fast charging.
Not mentioned here is that the car isn't the future of transportation. It doesn't matter if we drive gas cars or EVs, there isn't enough space in cities to accommodate them. Traffic is already horrible and there is no space for new roads or parking lots to accommodate the millions of people moving to cities. In Seattle 40% of the city land mass is dedicated to car parking. (That doesn't include roads, just parking). There are 5 parking spots for every household in the city.
