The Long Range Tesla Model 3, capable of over 300 miles of range, comes with a 75 kWh battery pack. 75 kilo watt hour charge in 1/6th hour would require a 450 kilo watt source.

Electrical power is given by P=VI

So a 220 volt circuit would need an amp rating of

I = 450,000 / 220 = 2045 amps

Well, no problemo.
What would be neat is watching transformers getting hit with those spikes. I’m sure the grid is robust enough.

But the real fun would be putting out a lithium metal fire from a fire hydrant.

“75 kilo watt hour charge in 1/6th hour would require a 450 kilo watt source.”

Where did you get that. Tesla is advertising 200 miles in 15 minutes. That would be 50 kwhr in 1/3 hour or 150 kw.

Their superchargers are rated for 250 kw. Others have chargers rated even higher.

“What would be neat is watching transformers getting hit with those spikes.”. It is not a spike.

Tesla recommends the use of water to put out EV battery fires.

The battery busses in a telco central office are carrying -48 volts @ 5000 amps continuous. They are built with laminated aluminum to remain strong enough to deal with the generated magnetic field without twisting out of the support frameworks. The battery racks have lead/acid cells the size of a 30 gallon trash can with the acid open to room air.

The picture above is a lot nicer than what was common when I was a telco central office equipment engineer in the early 80s. The batteries looked like a 30 gallon trash can made of a thick, transparent lucite. It was filled with acid and plates submerged. There were still SxS and #5 crossbar switches mixed with new #1AESS, Northern Telecom digital switches and D4 carrier banks. T1/T1C DSX cross connect panels were new installs at the time.
