Seems reasonable to balance changing rate with how much time you have. For similar reasons I recommend avoiding the natural inclination to get the more powerful charger possible at home.

Most powerful home charger is going to charge at 19kW, not much compared to the rate of a supercharger (250kW). your car will be fine.

I was going to reply "unless your home has 3 phase 480V service you don't know about, you're not going to be able to charge anywhere near supercharge amp flow rates..."
