Several weeks ago there was a video posted that was a very nice description of various chargers, that various cars charge at different voltage rates etc. etc. I didn't mark it at the time and I have been trying to search and find this with no luck. I wish I had more details and hope someone knows what I am referring to and can point me in the right direction.

Agree, that is a good on on level 2 charging.
The video I am referring too covers Level 3 DCFC charging.

I couldn’t find it quickly, but Kyle Conner had a video when the Magic Docks came out that had a decent overview of why 800V architecture cars won’t charge quickly at Superchargers (at least for Gen 3 units).
I can’t remember if it was on his personal channel or Out of Spec.

This covers charging pretty well.




Or go super deep into L2 and DC Fast Charging hardware.

Maybe one of these from State of Charge?

I think this might be the one I was thinking of.
