Did you understand my reply? kW and kWh are totally different metrics.

kW is a measure of power. Charging rate is measured in kW.
kWh is a measure of energy. Those are NOT the correct units for measuring charging rate.

If you charge at 50 kW * 1 hour --> 50 kWh of energy was dispensed.
50 kW * 2 hours --> 100 kWh
1 kW * 1 hour --> 1 kWh
1 kW * 1000 hours --> 1000 kWh

Multiply the units and values. The charger displays both values (kW for power and kWh for energy) and uses the right units. You will notice that https://www.electrify-canada.ca/pricing/ also use the right units. 1 to 90 kW and 1 to 350 kW are correct as they refer to charging rate.

As a side note, perhaps continued Electrify Canada discussion should be in its own thread.

I do understand. My mistake I stand corrected.

This price gouging has to stop.
It really looks bad as incentive to switch to BEV and is embarrassing.
Tesla has it right supercharger rate at $0.22 per minute < 60 kW in Canada.
Why are we charged a major penalty for opting to drive an alternate manufacture?

Tesla now has changed to per/Kwh billing in Canada.
Here is a couple of local examples showing the slower Urban supercharger compared to V2 (150 kW) and V3 (250 kW).

The prices seem consistent throw-out Canada

Overnight and non-peak rates have not yet been enabled like in some U.S. cities.
