How long before this becomes the norm?

From the Porsche Taycan Turbo (yes, how f
king stupid does that "Turbo" continue to be?) review:
"On more common 400V chargers, the Taycan will charge at just 50kW as standard, with 150kW capacity only as a £294 option. Porsche isn’t the only car maker to start offering better charge capacities as options and it’s not a great look. Optional ‘up to’ rates could become the auto industry’s equivalent of overstated broadband speeds. It’ll confuse and justifiably annoy people who haven’t yet forgotten the diesel scandal. Just fit what conscience says you really should, and be consistent about it."
Not sure who else the other car makers are, but just when you think there are no further lows to which companies won't sink, they find shiny new ways to disappoint you!

One of the biggest "moans" by the mainstream media reflection of public perception is that you need to spend hours filling the thing up.
So what do some car manufacturers do?
Reinforce this by making you pay more to speed this up?
Stupidly self-defeating.
Find some other luxury addition to gouge us on, fine, but this is a measure of hypocrisy which I find personally distasteful.
