I don’t regularly supercharge (today being my 2nd time).... but I noticed that there is a large vibration and occasional popping from under the car. Is that normal?

Thanks for that, having come from a leaf, that would worry me.The bangs are the metal cover sheet over the batteries, moving as the batteries heat up and expand, a bit like the clicking you get on the lid of a jar. The vibration is when the fans are going at full-pelt trying to cool the batteries down again ( by cooling the coolant and pumping it around the radiator, batteries and the super-bottle. Or in newer cars the heat-pump and the octo-valve )
The second generation doesn't either that's why they rapidgateLeafs infamously have no active thermal management on their batteries.
Or at least the first generation didn’t.
If I understand correctly that led to significant battery degradation over time.
I have the ver2 2018 leaf 40kwh, and to be fair to it, I think it's great, no wonky panels etc everything just works. OK it doesn't do fancy stuff like a M3. But I love it for nipping to the shops, feels much easier to use in car parks than my M3.I need to stand up for the Leaf - I have had a 1st gen made in Japan and a 1.5 gen made in Sunderland (which I still have) niether have had any battery problems. On both I have rapid charged soemtimes 3 times in a day and not had any temperature problems (mind you I do live in Scotland!).

yeah the lower you go down to the higher the charge rate.Haha. Thanks all, that’s reassuring.
On a side note managed to get 140kwh got a charge from 17% to 90% in 30 mins or so... unbelievable in my eyes.
