Fastcharging

[proudZSowner]

Hi there, what about charging with the Fastcharger in winter?
We recently had only 400V at 75 amps (~ 30kWh) after 120km on the highway on the 120kW charger.
Arrived with 10% and up to 80% the speed improved only slightly. maximum were 410 volts and 82 amps.

Bjorn Nyland has highlighted this issue with all EVs. He calls it Coldgate. If the battery is cold, they charge slowly.

after more than 100km "hammering" on the highway, the battery should be warm enough to charge more than 30kW/h.

Depends on how cold it is outside, I guess. How cold was it?
