Issue with fast charge

[Shugs]

Hey all,

Is it just me or is anyone else having issues with a significant drop off in the DC fast charging rate fromthe 50% battery level. And I really wonder why the Prologue capped at 150 kw. Any help?

It would be a great experiment to try the same charger with different car models. Maybe there's a compatibility issue we're not aware of. Also, I've heard similar things about Electrify America chargers. It's possible too that the charger itself is the culprit.

Agree with @Enigma-slacker2, try it with different chargers to confirm if the problem is with the charger or the car.

It could be the charger, from what I read about Electrify America. It would be interesting if you would ran the same test on the same charger on 2 different makes of cars.

What was the ambient temp? I’ve found that if it’s too hot or cold, even with preconditioning, charging rates suffer.

That's a good idea! I’ll definitely try the same charger with different models and see if there's a pattern. It’s frustrating because I’ve heard mixed things about Electrify America chargers too. Thanks for the insight

Great point man. The ambient temperature does play a big role. It was pretty warm when I was charging, but I’ll keep that in mind for future sessions. Thanks
