Charging rate at 10% and 35 deg

[Pjjameso]

Okay question for you guys... pulled up to EA HQ 350KW site and max I could get was 77KW with a SOC of 15% and outside temp of 35 deg. EA CEO says that rates are lower at lower temps. What do you think?

battery temp matters more than air temp - but yeah - lower battery temps = slower charge time.

the chart shows if the battery is below 60F charge times will be pretty slow…

Yeah what @daveo4EV said. His link shows a chart that is great. But from that chart you need to know battery temp. You can show this in your instrument cluster, on the right circle, under “Information” (you may need to customize what is displayed, via the PCM— but i think by default battery temp is one of the options of the 4x lines). That battery temp will be the magic # and then follow the chart he shared.

Also remember if you set your car to navigate to a “known” DC fast charging location it -should- start to pre-condition the battery to achieve optimal temp , to help aid in faster charging. “Should” doesnt always mean it will but its worth trying.
