The fastest CCS chargers you'll typically find are 350 kW. They use liquid cooled cables. Ionity's chargers are 920 volts and 500 amps but deliver a maximum of 350 kW:

Some CCS chargers are 400 kW:

Cars like the Lucid Air, Porsche Taycan, Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, Audi e-tron GT, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and the Kia EV6 can take advantage of the higher voltage to get high peak charging rates.

The Lucid Air's peak charging rate is supposed to be above 300 kW. It'll be interesting to see what the full charge curve is like for the Air.
