This is what Superchargers are. The snag is that during busy weekends, the batteries eventually hit zero, and everyone is capped at 72kW, because that's what the AC/DC transformer can provide.

That's just an engineering or planning problem. Really though it's probably just not cost effective to have enough capacity to cover the super busy times.
