And it's not like you need fast charging when you stay over night at a hotel.
After driving all or most of the day, many people like to check into a hotel, unpack the car, have a shower or whatever, then go out on the town for the evening. During that hour or two while getting ready to go out, dual chargers make a big difference in getting the range needed for the night out.
IMHO, destination charging is headed for oblivion.... While I'm sure there are hundreds of people who don't mind sitting around for hours while their car charges, AC charging, 40A or 80A, other than overnight, is far too slow to be generally acceptable.
Headed for oblivion when more and more are being installed every day? That's a strange way to become obsolete. And what's wrong with getting 56 miles in one hour? If I arrive at a hotel at 4 pm, I can get 112 miles by the time I go out to dinner at 6 pm. How much more do you need to drive around town, assuming you arrive on empty which is also unlikely. And there's no need to "sit around for hours" when you usually have other things to do when arriving at a hotel.
