So my wife came home with the Y today at 52% SOC. Took it to the local Petro Canada gas station where they have ccs1/chademo units. The CCS ones are 350kw so pretty powerful.
Never used one or did anything like it before but piece of cake is all I can say.
Plugged the adapter into the CCS cord and then into the car. Screen said communicating with the car and then a big green check sign came up on screen and asked me to swipe any major credit card which I did. Starting charging right away at a constant 74kw. I let it go for 17 minutes where it had put in 29% and cost me a whooping $3.60 cdn. Charged
from 51% to 80%
Had the battery been warmer and a lower state of charge, I am sure it would have been much quicker. Bottomline is it works no problem.
We now have the option of all Superchargers and everywhere else also, huge advantage for sure.
Man is that CCS plug big and bulky compared to the Tesla unit. Feels weird having a 15' cord, which is about the only thing they have done better than the park within a foot or else Tesla Supercharger cord.
