Don't batteries degrade faster the faster you charge them?

  As I understand it, degradation is lessened so long as the current drops off as the battery nears its full capacity.

  Yes. This is why this would be stupid with current battery technology. It would require astronomical cooling for the battery packs as well as all the charging infrastructure including the cable. I'm totally fine with ~10 kW for slow charging and 150 - 350 kW with fast charging. It's fast enough.

    Maybe you could modify the port to pump refrigerant through the battery while it is charging.
