A couple of weekends ago I took the car to the only Fast DC charger around here. After charging for 35 minutes, the car had received 14.4 kWh according to the receipt from Ford. This is a ChargePoint charger that can supposedly deliver 62 kW. So I would have expected a much faster charge. When I finally decided to quit, the car showed about 83% battery, so it's not like I was pushing towards 100%. I also have a ChargePoint charger in my garage that is plugged into a 240V 14-50 outlet. A couple of days ago I decided to look at my ChargePoint app, and it consistently shows delivering 2.4 kW when the car is charging. I understand that the charger should be able to deliver about 6 to 7 kW, and the car should be able to accept up to 11 kW.
If only one of these things had happened/were happening, I would have thought that perhaps the charger was not delivering enough power. But it seems unlikely that both chargers were defective. Is there any setting in the Mach-E that would tell it to slow down charging? (I have a receipt from another L2 charge from a month or so ago that looks about right, so this hasn't been going on since the beginning.)
