poll: CCS charging speed versus state of charge

[peterfd]

What charging speeds are you getting at non-Tesla CCS fast chargers?

At PetroCan in Vancouver BC, I get 56 kW at 55%, SoC, cost C$ 1.50/2.8 kWh, = USD 0.40/kWh, max advertised rate 200 kW.
At Chevron in Victoria BC, I got 128 kW at 46% SoC, cost free!, max advertised rate 150 kW.
At BCHydro in Vancouver BC, I get 46 kW at 60% SoC, cost C$ 0.77/2.7= USD 0.21/kWh, max advertised rate 50 kW.

Does this forum offer a way to create a table that members can fill out?

Table headings:
network, location, charge speed, SoC, cost/kWh, max speed

Unfortunately there are a lot of variables that go into charging speed.

Unfortunately there are a lot of variables that go into charging speed.

It would be interesting to see if there are any patterns such as consistently lower rates of charge at a given SoC on some networks compared to other networks

Again, lots of variables unaccounted for to make the data useful. One of the major ones being no on-route battery preconditioning for third party chargers (at least not yet).

In my experience, assuming battery is warm when getting to the charger, at SOC under ~35% you should get the full speed, then it will start going down. After 60% SOC or so it becomes a lot slower. Maybe half the speed.

The advertised rate is the theoretical maximum, doesn’t mean you will get that rate even if you arrive with low charge amd preheated battery (long explanation for why).

 

[evrepair]

Also it depends on which car you have. Larger battery = you get higher speeds at same SOC. My numbers above are for a LR model Y.

And also how the maximum kW is calculated. Many 3rd party chargers calculate it using a theoretical 900V vehicle.

So a 180kW site might have cables only rated to 200A, which means the practical max for a 3/Y is about 75kW (as Tesla's run lower voltage at low SOC)
