Went to an Electrify America charger today, one with a fancy label that says 350kW! (yes I realize the Kona cannot do that high a rate. BUT, my receipt says the rate maxed out at 175kW.... Thats about 100 kW's more than the Kona's advertised max charge rate? Right? Am I crazy? After I plugged it in, I sat and watched the rate rise to 70 kW's then I walked away from the car, so I did not visually confirm what the car actually did. Both my EA receipt and my EA account both say 175. Mind Blown.
Yeah, very strange. Probably a glitch in the EA software. It took you 32 minutes to charge 32kwh, though. So if you had a charge rate of 175kw it wouldn't have taken that long unless it was for only a couple seconds. BTW the Kona can charge at 150kW. At least regenerative braking. Not CCS, though. So even that isn't fast enough.
Sure that line on the ticket simply refers to the maximum rate possible from the charger given that it's at 400V.
One of our team reported seeing something similar on Facebook, I assume this is from A Kona Electric group.
Well, since EA charges for Kwh delivered, it really doesn't make any difference. Hope you were charging with the membership rate of $0.31 per Kwh. Maybe the bug is a throwback from when you were put in categories of max charge rate? I don't recall a 175 group.
