If you are only gone for 2-3 days hopefully you aren't going so far as to use up all of your range getting there, so maybe it only takes 30-40 hours to charge on that outlet.

I don't know if true, but I've heard of people trying to find ways to get 660V for charging into residential garages. a 480V is going to get your vehicle charges in 6 -10 hours depending on the battery. Plenty of time to plug it in every night if need be.

The service station ones, absolutely, we need to get 660V 3ph DC on them, we need to consistently be getting 150+KW out of them (right now most of the ones in Alberta are rated at 500KW and operate between 25 KW & the high 40s, they are taking 1-2 hours to charge, get up to 150, get down to 30-40 minute stops and we are getting into a realistic use case).
Do you mean 3 wire DC? No such thing as 3 phase DC
