Fast (DC) chargers have a roadside rectifier and are about 60Kw in

There is a different charge socket for this. There are about six
pins for various control link as well as the two big ones.

You have one of these at home? If not, do you use one elsewhere?

No and no. Why would I need one at home anyway?
They shorten battery life.

Sigh. The only point in mentioning a fast charge system is if you have
access to it when needed. In the same way as you have access to filling
the tank on a petrol car.

And is anything which shortens the life of an already horrendously
expensive battery worth mentioning anyway?

Semtex ?

Large metal spike and a big hammer?
