Most BEVs with a decent sized battery sustain the highest charge rate at far above your quoted 10-35%. Probably the best is currently the Audi e tron. It charges at its maximum 150 kW rate up until 70% SOC, and over 100 kW at 80% (at which point most people stop DCFC sessions).The newest CCS charging stations featuring 150-350kW capacities is neat but at what rate does your BEV charge at? There is a charging curve with the highest levels usually between 10-35% SOC and then it drops. Tesla Model 3 owners frequently report on an average 87kW charge for their rate. What is the Rivian charging curve going to look like?
I expect Rivian will allow its max charge rate to at least 60% SOC and probably higher.
