It's all about watts/hour. You can only put so many amps through a wire so you have to keep increasing the volts. It starts to get to be dangerous. No way you can recharge the even bigger batteries on 480 volt superchargers even faster than they do now. So if you want 5 times the current speed on a battery twice as big as a current battery, you start talking about Joe Blow snapping together a cable that has more like 4800 volts. Then lined up like a gas station 10 "pumps" so a 48000 volt feed, just for the equivalent of one average corner station. It's like adding a steel refinery to every neighborhood.
