Hi all,
This weekend, I took my 2020 ZS EV to the Fully Charged Show. This is a 240 mile each way trip for me so I was using rapid chargers. On the way back home yesterday, I charged at a 150kW Instavolt charger at Banbury, a 120kW GridServer charger at Norton Cane services on the M6 toll road and a 50kW Instavolt charger at Penkridge retail park off the M6. On each occasion, the charging rate never rose above 32kW. The first two charges I arrived with around 20% battery. I thought the ZS could charge at up to 76kW and I'm sure I've seen it charge before at mid-60s.
Any ideas before I take it to the dealer? I don't have a photo of the charger at the 150kW Instavolt but in all three cases, there were no other cars charging nearby so should have been no problems with load.
