Using a faster charger...

[Bermudabob]

Hi all,
I'm planning a trip in the future (when able to) and zap map has recommended me stop at a particular station that only has 350 kwh CCS chargers. My question is, can my ZS use these and get a charge without any damage? I guessing it would max out at around 50?

If anyone knows that would be great!

Yes you can, but the ZS EV in perfect conditions, temp etc can only draw about 85 KWh per hour

Thats still pretty good for me!

Yes, but don’t get too excited it’s unlikely if it does reach those levels in the early part of charging it’s more likely to fall back to just over 50 KWh, but that’s still good and means the car is back on the road within a reasonable turn around time.

Some high rate chargers can be very expensive btw. It’s not that important if you’re not using them very often - but upwards of 65p a kwhr.

Knew there would be a catch...

You can check the local unit prices on zap map, BP pulse are normally pretty good and reliable if you have them on route.

Still relatively economical, personal transport is never going t be "cheap"..

why not? 5p/kw and cheaper is available for some at home. Free chargers are dotted around - more-so in Scotland. Tesla superchargers 24p/kwhr - 65p+ is a rip off.
