Max charge speed obtained?

[tony powell]

I have had my MG ZS EV LR for about 8 months now and travelled all the way from Orkney to Gibraltar. I have never got a starting charge speed above 60 kWh - this includes all sorts of chargers including an advertised speed of 350 kWh. What is your experience?

Got 82kWh the other day... Heating up the battery does help...

Yes, I tried that and was in sunny Spain.

A couple have seen 95kW on this thread: Max charge rate achieved on ZS ev lr?

Max I saw was last year during summer about 85kw. 2 weeks back I had switched on the battery heater, temperature was around 7 degrees. Had the battery heater on for about 35 mins on the motorway and saw about 72kw.

All winter, never seen anything over 60kw so quite sad. The kona face-lift I had before this even during peak winter would hit its top speed of 77kw without a fail.

Funny enough, I was charging now from 40% and only hitting 46kw. An MG 4 came next to me and hit 64kw at 60%.

The charging speed is not the best on this car.
