Yep. The only reason "charging at home" is a thing is that without this EVs don't meet anyone's needs. If you could charge up an EV to full capacity in under 15 minutes, all current fueling locations would give up a few petrol pumps, or incorporate it into the existing pumps just like diesel/E85/etc.
No one would buy an EV of you couldn't charge it at home. By the same token, very few people would try to power up a fuel cell at home if it can be done at the local station in a reasonable amount of time (which it could be).
