The problem isn't charging at 50KWh or less. Is the maximum range. If you can drive 400 km with one charge you drive 2 or 3 hours, stop and recharge while eating something and using the bathroom and you have almost filled the battery again. But with 100 km or less you have to stop every hour at most. It's like having a prostate problem.
In the US, road trips of 1,600km aren't even half way across the country. Charge speeds make a big difference on getting to your destination in a single day.
But you have to stop every couple of hours anyway, if you want to drive safely, so not that much of a problem.
