The new Zoe still does 22 kW AC charging with a factory option for DC CCS but 43 kW is essentially dead in current production cars. I suspect unlike 43 kW charge points the 22 kW ones are here to stay - simply because there's a big mix of 7 kW (32 A single phase) and 11 kW (16 A 3 phase) cars around, so a 32 A 3 phase charger is the lowest common denominator that will charge both at full rate. That and AC chargers are comparatively cheap to install with costs that don't really scale with rating.
The number of 22kW AC charging points is whopping, at least here they are much more frequently available than DC quick charging stations. Shopping malls, parking garages, etc.; while DC quick charging is focused on busy highways only.
We frequently make a 140km trip and because the kid sometimes needs a break midway we stop at such "highway hub" place, to see how all (
eight) DC CCS fast charging spots are always in use and a line of Teslas etc. are forming to queue. Average charge rate, including the wait is definitely below 50kW. Then, there are
two 22kW AC EVSEs there, which are also cheaper, but I have never seen anyone use them. I just plug the LEAF in and charge at 6kW. During half-an-hour stay, I don't get much charge (15km), but that brings up the question - what it the car charged at 22kW? That would be pretty decent, 55km in 30 minutes; not good for continuous "20%-to-60" roadtripping, but really fine for those occasions you need like 1.3 times the range your vehicle supports. Especially in winter, the speed difference between DC fast and AC charging disappears. If you are queuing 20 minutes to DC fast charging at -5kW (including cabing heating plus battery pre-heating) then charge at 50kW (limited by station-wide total power limit) for another 20 minutes, your effective rate ends up the same 22kW you could get from the 3-phase 32A AC EVSE, which would also require less battery pre-heating to begin with. And what's best, the infrastructure is so much simpler, you can literally get a 3x32A AC EVSE for 200EUR and all that's needed is some sort of payment system.
Besides, power electronics have been improving all the time, using modern parts and knowledge (SiC, GAN, modern inductor core materials, let's not get into details here, many here know the drill), a 22kW internal charger is not such a problem anymore. You don't need to use the inductance of the motor to do that.
So in TLDR, people are pissed by Nissan LEAF coming with the getting-obsolete Chademo DC quick charge but seeing the availability of 22kW charge points, if I could choose between having a 22kW AC charger, or CCS connector on my LEAF, I would probably now choose the former! And if I want a car for 1500km road trips in the middle of winter non-stop, I won't buy 90% of the EV models on the market, and probably not even long-range Tesla, just a good old ICE car. For the EV use pattern, AC might be still the right solution after all, even if Zoe wasn't as successful as they hoped for.
And specifically, I mean 22kW AC, coupled with getting large enough battery pack for 95% of the needs to begin with. The idea that you DC fast charge weekly or more often is doomed, I think, because the charge network cannot expand fast enough compared to the number of new cars sold, and it's detrimental to battery life, too.
