Hi
My ZS long range doesn't seem to slow charge faster than 3 kW, I was expecting to get around 10kW (this is Danish car version, not UK) .
Attached some pictures with the cable and charger.
Do I need another cable?
What is the speed that you guys are charging with?
Cable looks to be this one from Thansen

If so, it's only 1 phase.
1 phase means max 3,6 kW.
For 11 kW you need a 3 phase cable (3*3,6 = 10,8 kW)
The cable supports 32A = 7,2 kW, but the ZS only supports 3,6 kW on each phase, and the charger is a 11 KW 3 phase charger in the car.
I bought this cable, it is 3 phase

Have not had a chance to use it yet, until now i have only done 2 super charges, and the rest has been done at home, slowcharging at 2½ kW from my solar panels, but it should be able to do 11 kW charging if the chargepoint supports it.
3 Things govern how fast you can charge with a "slow" charge cable.
1. How much the charge point is able to deliver
2. How much current your cable is rated for (It is coded to tell the charge point / car what it can handle)
3. The AC Charger in the car.
Essentially the lowest "performing" part of the 3, determines the speed.
