Hi, with all the boom of “fast charging” I’ve been wondering why can’t we have phones or electric cars with twice or more the charging ports. I understand that is inconvenient to plug two chargers instead of one but wouldn’t that increase the charging rate, solving one of the problems with electric cars (refueling gas is way faster). As this is not the case there should be a good reason why it is not feasible, what is it ?
(I did not find anything close to convincing in google).

The problem is that faster charging wears down the battery quicker. They want them to be able charge quickly but not damage the battery in the process. They could put more power in one port but they limit the charging speed to limit heat and degradation. Two ports wouldn’t make any difference.
