Today I thought I would try rapid charging on my IM6. Flippin' heck it's fast. See the pics below.
This car is sooo impressive.

I love the "Max 150kW" sign below the screen ;-) Time to find a 400kW charger and arrive with 5% battery, pre-heated, to see what you can get!
Yeah, I know, were billed on their own website as 150kW, but have been told that they could do up to 300kW 🤷‍♂️, pleasant surprise of under promising and over delivering.

Presumably the ~150kW limit is for 400V vehicles, and 300kW for 800V vehicles. It's a lot easier to make a cable that rated at 800V than one rated for over 375A.

Perhaps they were sick of complaints from 400V owners, saying "We never see over 150kW from your supposedly 300kW charger!".
