Rapid Charging Speeds

[tsedge]

What's the maximum rapid charging speed you've seen in the real world and what was the charge curve like?

(Don't forget to say which model you have).

IM6 100 kWh NMC, tested rapid charging on a 400V charger for two minutes, just to test that the system works. <50% SoC, minus degrees outside. 50 kW. A little suprised it was not a bit more (like 80).

The most have seen is 144kw on a 400kw charger. Ionity has never got above 90. That is on an IM6 LE

I assume the 5 and 6 are the same so see - IM6 Rapid Charging

I'm specifically interested if the 5 is behaving the same as the 6, so please 5 owners, let us know.

I’ve seen 280kW that held to 65% where I stopped (350kW charger). This is the highest reported rate that I can see on Plugshare for this charger.

That is a real eye opener. With CATL starting full mass production of their Na+ cells that can fast charge better than anything out there at the moment, with no battery health issues, it will be interesting to see the first of these cells in a passenger car as well as a heavy transport vehicle.
