Ok, I went ahead of myself a bit. My understanding always was like this:That's interesting because everyone has always said it's not about who arrives first at 'shared stalls' but who has the lowest charge. So if I'm at 40% and someone arrives at 15% and shares with me, my charge rate will drop drastically to accomodate them. Has this changed?
1) Maximum output of the shared pair of SC stalls is ~ 120 kW (might be more in future)
2) The cars start with CC (constant current) charge at first, then switch to CV (constant voltage) later - I don't have data on what that point exactly is
3) Depends on the SoC (state of charge) of each car the paired SC will split the maximum output between the two cars, bu taking 2) into consideration. At certain point your car will limit the amount of "juice" flowing in, leaving more for the 2nd car.
So It matters, but to certain point (e.g. if you are in a hurry or plan to continue your journey ASAP) - if both cars are parked and drivers take a break for eating or shopping then it is not as important. Hopefully they watch the app or time to get back to their car before it starts sitting idle.
As a rule of a thumb, it is good to leave the adjacent stall (that is part of the pair) empty if other ones are available, since you don't know the SoC of the other car. A common SC courtesy
