It's the 75kW on a DC charger thats slow, decade old cars are getting better speeds than that and cars a couple of years old are 200kW+ on DC with some peaking at 300kW.
The 7kW AC charging is also annoying because they limit it by using single phase charging, especially if you're in a country where 32A single phase current is not normal in residential areas. Then you're limited to 16A which is only 3.5kW, meaning you can barely charge it in a night. There is just no good reason to do single phase charging on new cars.
There is a 3 phase 11Kw option for the car you could have had :( I don't think they retrofit them though.
Lyckily it was only a loaner I had for a little more than a week.
