This is what other tests have shown too. It only charges at max speed (150 kWh) for a few minutes then progressively throttles down to 80 -90 kwh until 80% where it hits a wall.

Would you mind plotting those as cumulative (kWh) curves by time and SOC? That will help establish just how much charge we get during the initial peak and then at each charging level.Charging curve update from Norway.
@ChasingCoral ...The answer to your question in the other thread. These numbers are pulled from Bjorn's Livestream for his range test and 1000km challenge.
Don't have time to back through to collect the exact kWh's at the end of each minute for all the sessions, but here's a summary. There is some heavy rounding going on though.Would you mind plotting those as cumulative (kWh) curves by time and SOC?

OK, thanks. I didn't know how you collected the data as you watched it..Don't have time to back through to collect the exact kWh's at the end of each minute for all the sessions, but here's a summary. There is some heavy rounding going on though.
This is fuggin brilliant. Thanks, man.Don't have time to back through to collect the exact kWh's at the end of each minute for all the sessions, but here's a summary. There is some heavy rounding going on though.
Could you share the raw data (kW vs minutes and SoC) as a spreadsheet or CSV file? Then I would determine the kWh vs minutes and kWh vs SoC curves from that. I would also be interested in those curves.Don't have time to back through to collect the exact kWh's at the end of each minute for all the sessions, but here's a summary.

The charge rate isn't bad. 24 minutes to add 44% SoC. I think we'd all like to see the 150+kW charge rate for longer than 2 minutes and the sustained charge for the meat of the charging session bumped up from the 100-110kW level.I watched some of Bjorn's 1000 km live stream drive around Norway this morning. Most of his charging sessions went pretty well. I logged one of them every few minutes. It was 3C (37F) outside.

I think it was advertised as "62mi/ten minutes", IIRC. Up from the 47 mi they originally advertised. But yes, I'm convinced that's the peak 10 minutes, not the average. They continue to say "10-80% in 45 minutes", which is consistent with the 47/10 number.The charge rate isn't bad. 24 minutes to add 44% SoC.

Looks like Bjorn saw 75kW as the lowest sustained charge rate for his road trips.
Do you think the "52mi/ten minutes" charging speed Ford is claiming is an average or the best ten minutes?

10-80% in 45 minutes is an 82 kW average. Bjorn averaged 99 kW, which is even better, although he stopped at 55%. If he'd continued to 80% I'm guessing his average would have been right around that 82 kW expectation. To achieve that in 37F temps is quite good. And he was able to repeat that pattern on many chargers (although some fell short). We've also seen *some* other examples consistent with that.
So I'm confident the MME is capable of it. I just think they're having some issues getting the software tweaked right to handshake with EA and other US networks. And it's compounded by the exceptional cold in the US the last month that pushed many charging attempts into below freezing range, where it probably really does fall way off. This is just my guess, but charging below 30F is probably gonna be slow even after they get kinks worked out.
