Hi There,
Got a chance to use the new MFG charging station in Stretford (manchester) earlier today. And despite having a warm battery (end of 40 mile drive), 37% capacity and using a charger (brand spanking new) rated at 100kw - it didnt get above 240mph charging rate.. based on the figures on the charger screen - for the first few min it was barely above 50kw (50-55). According to the various charge curves around it should be capable of pulling 70-80kw at that state of charge...
Of course many many things could be a factor here (most likely the charger) but I've never seen greater than 240mph / 50kw...
Wondering if this is a fault with the car??? Anyone else had high charge speeds on non ionity chargers?

Not pulling more than 50kw on a rapid....
Just one (of eight) and they left half way through. Will have to try again - though was surprised not to get higher. Battery was warm (after 45 min drive) at 37% (low enough to pull more than 50) etc..
The starting SoC level makes a big difference, get it below 20% before you plug in.
There are a number of variables at play including state of charge (SoC), battery temperature, ambient temperature, max amperage output of the charger and so on.
I was able to get 90kw even at 30% on a sunny day in June at Ionity Cambridge
If you use the tronity app you can even see the charging curve, which can be interesting
