A the ranges for EV is when the batteries are new and haven't been

The car controls the charge rate so, unless the designers coc&ed-up,
it's impossible to mistreat the batteries

For AC charging the car's on-board charger is in control, limited by how
many amps the EVSE will provide.

But for fast DC charging, AIUI the external charger is connected (maybe
via a contactor?) to the car's battery, there is communication where
presumably the car lets the charger know what voltage represents full
and what's the max current it can handle?

You're hardly going to use jump leads, so assume the connector on the car
for fast charging (and the charger that fits it) takes all this into
account?
