isn't supposed to be super high voltage to work ? or maybe this would be super slow ?

The car can take 120/240 V AC input. Internally, there's a AC to DC rectifier that brings the voltage up to the internal battery's voltage. For 120V 15A charging, this is pretty slow in general since EV batteries have a large capacity.
