The electronic to charge when power is available is doable.
But then, you may wake up, run to appointment, and car is empty, because there were never enough power.
Charging faster - not so much! You need high Voltages (dangerous, expensive insulators) and high currents (expensive, fat coper wires).
That Tesla supercharger is about as fast as anything ever will do.

There is another car company, can’t recall the name but I think founded by a former Telsa engineer, who claims to have 4x (or something like that) faster charging capacity. Of course, the problem is that most locations don’t or can’t deliver that much electricity. This is supposed to be a more luxurious version of Tesla. High performance, high luxury. When I test drove a Tesla many years ago it was really not a pleasant interior. It had crappy seats and a back bench like a 1940’s Ford truck. Maybe it’s better now.

But if someone is very serious about it, they could install the correct breakers and cables to deliver more than 110v. Where I work all the machines are running on 220v. I think in total the building runs on 800 amps.
