Last fast charger I used was at 4 degrees c. 50kw charger from 30% to 80%, ramped up to 48kw. around 72% it started ramping down to 37kw down to 26kw. I think it took around 52 minutes. Battery temperatures showed 15 degrees c. near completed charge, battery temps started at 10 degrees c.

This makes more sense than the results the guy in this video got. Maybe his charging station wasn't working quite right in the chill. Thanks for posting!

Charging in -4c weather.
Battery starting temperature 6c. 45% @25kw. 47% @43kw. 50% @40kw. 54% @27kw. 62% @22kw battery tempature at 13c all the way up to %70. 45% to 70% took 1h 15minutes. Was taking too long and there was another car waiting so I didnt continue. Guess this was the cold gate that reviews were talking about.

Has anyone used the Greenlots app here in BC for DC charging? I hear it's the one to use but the reviews on Google Play are pretty horrendous. I was hoping to get an unbiased, real life user opinion - or is there a better app? Thanks in advance.

The DC charger here in Vernon is Greenlots, so I installed the app before trying out the charger a couple weeks ago. Worked fine, no issues. I didn't need the app for anything other than scanning the QR code to get it running though.

Thanks Dan!
I installed Greenlots app, found a station not in use & just started my first fast charge. Getting 43 kW, outside temp is 7C, SOC is 38%, Kona says 43 minutes to 80%, 1hr 35 mins to 100%. This is great, thanks Dan & tran604.
