EVGo Throttling Experience anyone?

I've charged to 100% with evGO, never been cut off.

45 min during the day, 60 min at night. No Tesla charges to 100% in 45 or even 60 min on one of these.

Good point. Sorry, have never charged more than 30-40min now that I think of it.

In my experience, with the CHAdeMO adapter on my MS and EVgo, if I'm >50% it'll do ~25kW, if i'm < 50% it'll do 40-45kW. I've never seen typical "Level 2" rates (i.e., 5-15kW) so it probably is the wording. Not really sure why they limit it in the dead of night.

Yes, I would get ~40kW with a warm battery and a low state of charge.

The limiting factor is also the adapter. It is limiting at 120 Amp. If the battery voltage is low, you only get 40 kW. As the battery voltage goes up, so does the charge rate. I think the highest I remember is 47 kW. Then the state of charge of your battery will limit the power as it fills up.
Here is a typical charge session at a 50 kW EVGo station. I had to restart it after 45 min, but did it so quickly that it's not showing in the graph.

Power starts at 40 kW and goes up to 47 kW. Amps are almost constant at aprox 120. Battery voltage goes from 340 to 388.
