No it’s not necessarily but I like it.
it’s like saying is my 200hp civic enough. Sure it enough for basic commuting but I sure as hell won’t like it or enjoy it.
There is another reason why we have limited charging currents. It is to keep the mains fuse alive. Most normal clubs have a 35A fuse on the incoming 230v, that is 8000w. If you have a race with 100 drivers and everyone is charging at 40A (+/- 350 watt) then only 20 people can charge batteries before the fuse gets critical.
