With the charging improvements that VW is rolling out to the MEB platform vehicles with the version 2.4-3.1 software updates, I started to wonder if it's possible for Ford to do the same with the Mach-E.
I understand that many of the modules are updatable via FDRS or OTA but what I wasn't sure if the limitation is software or hardware related. How close Ford is to the limits of the components is Ford currently operating. Is the limiting factor for such an update the components themselves or limitations in other systems like the cooling capacity of the cooling loop.
My SR AWD has seen peak charging of 119kW but only held that for 3 min before settling down to 89kW-92kW charging. I understand that the voltage on the pack isn't overly high but I'm wondering why we couldn't pump more amps to make up the difference and bring the charging rate back up higher.
