Interesting that Tesla is the king of fast charging, despite the technology being objectively worse in a fast charging application.

As far as I know this no longer the case for several years. Hyundai, Porsche, Audi, Zeekr, Volvo, Kia, Genesis, Nio, Lucid, XPENG, Maserati, Mercedes, BYD, ... all offer faster charging speeds than Tesla. If you sort descending by charging speed on EV database, the first Tesla (model 3 RWD) appears only on page 14.

They are still among the most efficient cars however but also there, you'll find good alternatives like the Hyundai Ioniq 6 (for model 3) or Ioniq 5 (for model Y). I think there's also some very efficient models from BYD but apparantly they're not listed in EV database (yet).
