Nobody needs to charge their car at home in five minutes. You charge your car at home over night. The typical driver drives less than 100km a day, so needs less than 20kWh per day. The car is parked over night for around ten hours, so it takes about as much power as a kettle to charge it. Fast charging is for long highway trips where dedicated infrastructure can be constructed.
