Yes, it is slow on a basic outlet. But they are capable of charging much faster on higher amp circuits. A 240v 32-40 amp outlet, like a clothes dryer outlet, pushes 20-30 miles per hour. This is what is called Level 2 charging and the majority of public charging stations are at this amperage.
Level 3, also referred to as quick charging, is typically 50-100 amps, and can get you 100 miles in 30 minutes. It is for a different use case, like a road trip.
