> ~3 hours of highway driving the other day used 75% of a full charge and it's taken 30 hours on a 15A circuit to charge back up

Good grief, what are you trying to do? No one charges cars on a wall outlet. I mean, sure, it "works", but yikes.

Take it to a supercharger for 20 minutes, or at the very least one of the copious 6-12 kW "Level 2" chargers you find in parking lots.

I'm staying at an AirBnB (with only a 15A exterior outlet), there's a supercharger not too far, but TBH, it works well enough plugged in overnight, I know if I needed to drive more, I can just go to the supercharger station. We were out and about the other day, but didn't go anywhere the next day, so the car was more or less fully charged.
