I don't see the relevance to the problem at had. Might use the same in watt hours or whatever unit of measure you want to use but at 40A the load placed on the electrical grid at any point in time during the charging process is 8 times higher compared to 5A. It doesn't matter if the same amount of energy is transferred to the battery at the end of the charge if in one of the two scenarios the electrical system of the building cannot handle the load caused by the faster charging due to multiple chargers chargin at the same time.
Besides, in your footlong comparison from a charging point of view you'd just end up with two racers with half-charged batteries instead of one racer with a full pack.
