No 350kW charging only needs 50 amps. That would mean charging at 7000V, which no car supports.

The existing 250kW charging from Tesla maxes out at 400V, which is 625 amps. The EA 350kW chargers run at 800V, so they use ~437 amps. The cables are thick, but not that thick honestly.

Oh you're absolutely right, I had meant 500 amps. Thanks for the correction.
