If this got crowd-sourced though so that any place with a parking spot and an outlet that would be a good way to scale.

Not sure what the price point would have to be to make it worthwhile for a homeowner to set up a super charger outside their home or just let somebody use their outdoor outlet, and still make a little profit. Would people be into that? I might be okay with somebody parking in my driveway and charging if it netted me a bit of pocket money.
The Bolt I have can only charge at 50 kW, the charging station there is capable of charging at 350 kW.

At that charging rate, it would charge to 80% from zero in less than 10 minutes.

Level 3 charging (Even at 50 kW) is far beyond what your residential electrical service is capable of providing. But there are people that have level 2 chargers for other people to use.
