Even if it is, with the latest 2,3 software, VW state 120kW in the updated brochure.

I’ve used a couple of Ionity chargers since mine got 2,3 and haven’t seen anything close to 100, but then my SoC was too high both times.

Yeah he did mention it's higher than what the brochure says. Peaks at 130kW very briefly from the charger - could be that after losses it's around 120kW.

In the vid he goes from Zero to 100... It peaks at 130 when empty - but drops down to c.100 by about 20% (from memory)... comparing that to my own charging curves (OK I've only one from 15% on a 100w charger :D) then its really only adding that fast rate to the very bottom end (the 0-20 or 25% range) and from then on it looks pretty similar.

Not a bad thing of course - and I don't want to piss on VW's chips (its an improvement - yay!) - but a 10-20% increase in charge speed from say 20-70% would make a real difference!
