Who is limiting Charging Speed

[bruceski88]

Pulled into an EA charger with supposedly 350Kw capacity. Wasn’t hot, about 80 deg. Normally get 160Kw/hr for the first burst and then about 90, but this time only got 125 and 72. EA screen said charging speed was requested by MME. I think this is just EA trying to shift blame. No one else at the other 5 bays the whole time. Hope EA gets their act together since EVgo and Chargepoint are abysmally slow.

I see that from time to time and just move to as different chargers, then call EA.

EA is so screwed up. Trying different chargers sometimes works. Sometimes I think the car limits to ~125-130kW due to certain factors.

Try without Plug and Charge enabled and see if speeds improve. Might be a software bug.

I've been to a 350kw charger here in Canada at a Petro Canada station. I was at 50% and the car pulled max 121kw

Now I am jealous even a bit at 72 KW . There is one on the far side of Ottawa but I use a back woods 50 KW I have found in there. Perfect location but slower. One day I maybe lucky but so far they are just around the southern horseshoe. I can safely say mine does 47 KW steady and fall like a brick at 80%. 20% is hard to get on a 1%/hour hall plug over night. Watched some good news maybe which should help this thread. Possible OTA coming on charging.

Sounds like its the charger, and I know it can be a roll of the dice what you get. Wasn’t bad enough for me to move. I have sometimes gotten 34kW and move immediately. Hope EA gets their act together, not a problem now with so few BEVs.
