! For the AC chargers, the amperage and power tend to be steady after the first minute of the session. For the DC chargers, the rate will fluctuate -- typically with a taper (downwards) as the SOC (state of charge) level rises.

* These rates require dual chargers to be installed in the car (retrofit available for US$2000). The station will charge at a lower rate without them.
