I’m taking a long road trip this week and am trying to determine how to get the best charging speed.
I used a 150kW charger and it delivered 148-150kW for about 8 minutes, then dropped to 34kW. The truck said charge was limited by the station. I checked the handle and it was HOT. So, I stopped that charge and started another one from the second charge handle (same station). It too gave me 248-150kW for about 8 minutes before throttling to 34kW.
I assume the chargers throttle as they overheat. Is there anything we can do to help? Would wrapping a cold towel or ice pack help? Maybe a fan to blow air onto the handle? I am not looking forward to the trip if my charging stops will be over an hour and a half (10-80%, based on 150kW charger).
