There has been a lot of discussion on this forum about 100kW charging, but it's difficult to know what the current (!) status is; and you can't search for "100 kW"...
As far as I am aware from reading lots of posts over the last few months, it seems that many of you have charged at around 80kW, but there is some sort of limit of 200A, but I'm not clear whether this is a limit of the car or the charger. Much talk of software updates promising 100kW charging. Mention of needing water-cooled cables on the charger. And lots of talk of problems with chargers generally.
There was a video posted recently (which I can no longer find) showing someone getting 97kW from a Honda charger - but it seemed to taper off very rapidly to c80kW at c25% SoC (all these figures from memory).
So, my question to current owners who have access to super-rapid chargers which should be capable of 100kW or more, is:
"What sustained charging rate can you routinely achieve, between, say 20% and 70% SoC?" Or, perhaps more usefully, how fast have you managed to recharge from 20% to 80% SoC?
By the nature of these forums, there are more posts reporting problems than successes. So please don't use this thread to report specific issues such as cutting out after a few minutes or being unable to charge at more than 30kW. I'm trying to establish what is routinely possible when everything is working as it should.
