New Charging Curve Example (2023.10.02)

[zefram47]

After seeing the latest OoS video on a potentially revised charging curve I gave it a go myself. Not super rigorous, but tried to capture enough to be worthwhile. The first stall had failed cable cooling and dropped to 40 kW within 5 minutes, so I moved to another stall. 25-35% was in the first attempt and not included on the graph, but 36-80% is and seemed decent. I didn't catch when cooling started, but noticed it about 8 minutes in and was absolutely ripping by 11 minutes and kept cranking until it stopped at 75% SoC and had dropped below 70 kW. I preconditioned to the charger during a 30 min drive to the station. Truck was built in Feb 2023 and running 2023.10.02.

That’s pretty good! Thanks for sharing. What DCFC was it? EA, RAN?

EA at the Colorado Mills mall in Golden/Lakewood, CO. From PlugShare it looks like the cable that I had issues with was just replaced this month, so something is up with that. But the second stall worked like a champ, just didn't get to start as as low SoC as I'd wanted.

Good Info Thanks for posting. I very rarely fast charge but when I do the 350KW chargers fail after only 2-3 seconds so then I swap to a 150KW and get around 160KW up to a little shy of 60%SOC. I'm assuming it's the chargers I think they are the signet units. I've only gotten over 210KW one time on a 350KW unit but I can't remember the make of the charger or even the network.
