Slow DC charge

[StevieP2]

Granted its only 9oC
But XC40 Recharge twin ultimate will only charge at 31kW. I'm connected to a 125kW instavolt charger.

is this right my old kia niro never had this issue

At that state of charge ours will hit 150 kw charge rate on a Gridserve 350kw/h charger. It slows down as the charge state increases but even at over 80% it will hit a rate of over 30kw. It has never got above a rate of 100kw on an Instavolt. I suspect the issue lies with the charger unless it does this all the time. 150 is the maximum rate for ours but if yours is the latest updated version it should do a bit more.

You're spot on drove 15 miles to the gridserve 350 and it jumped to 140kW, very odd

Suspect there must’ve been a problem with the specific charger. On an Instavolt 125kW at around 18c, we’ve managed 103kW @ 26%, but was still charging at 36kW @ 80%

How far had you driven to the first charger ?

Did you route to it (so battery was preconditioning) ?

Could be the charger but if you'd only driven a short distance, and not routed to the charger it could be the battery condition limiting the charge
