50 kW would keep me happy (if that is what the car reports as a maximum draw when plugged into a 150kW charger) as one of the DC charger networks in N.A. works off a Tier setup - being that if the car reports to the charger a capability of more than 75 kW in any portion of the charge cycle, we are billed for that tier for the whole chargeHi, I registered here to put my update on this issue
I am based in the UK and think I have the Highest milage Kona EV out there (64200 Miles currently) Registered sept 2018
Mine had the BMS update a couple of weeks ago when it was in for a failed 12V Battery and Steering Linkage Repair
Before the update
The Car WOULD NOT Charge on 90% of the Ecotricity DBT 50Kw DC Rapid Chargers (It cut out after 90 seconds tripping the charger),
On All Other 50Kw DC Rapids it would start at 44kw and ramp up to 49kw before throttling at 72%
On 150Kw and 350KW HPCs it would charge at 77kw up to 51% before throttling to 53kw and then again at 72% to 25kw
After the update
The car charges perfectly on all the Ecotricity DBT 50Kw Rapids now at 43kw up to 78% then throttles

On Polar 50Kw DC Rapid Chargers the car starts at 44kw but after 5mins throttles to 38kw and will not go higher, stays there till 77% then throttles again to 25kw

On IONITY 150kw and 350Kw HPCs the car will no no longer charge at more than 40kw no matter temp or level

On Shell 150Kw Chargers the car now charges at 53kw up to 51% then throttles

On other 50Kw networks the results have been up to 45kw and no higher, despite these chargers always delivering up to 49kw in the past
Currently have a case open with Hyundai UK, they have tried claiming on the car having high mileage, but its been pointed out to them the 20Reg Loner (With Update) I had exhibited the same pattern, and it was working perfectly upto delivery to them for update.
??? Did you have to open the door and close it to clear and did the doors lock again when driving up to auto lock speed or shift out of park (depending on your setting)?Another weird thing happened today sitting a stoplight. The car unlocked itself and popped the driver's door latch open which subsequently caused all the warning bells to go off indicating that the door was open while in drive. That has never happened before , wonder if they did an "update" of the body control module. The weirdness just continues.

Talk today on the UK SpeakEV forum is that the update program is on hold!... The weirdness just continues.
Yes, I had to open and close the door to clear the warning indicator and it stayed unlocked after I pulled away from the stoplight. I believe I have my setting on "un/lock on shift". I am going to mention this on my planned visit with the service department in a couple of weeks to address the ticky reducer noise again. I suppose it could just be a faulty door sensor that initiated an unlock but what I don't understand is how it also unlatched the driver's door, that seems a little more concerning to me.???

Replying in the 12v Battery thread.I've just seen that once, a few weeks back. This was even after a normal ABS event of 20 min. The 12V charging at the start of traction charging is usually 30 min.
Tried 3 Konas on the IONITY (150KW) HPC Chargers today
Thanks for the heads-up.Talk today on the UK SpeakEV forum is that the update program is on hold!

Personally my choice would be to do one thing at a time, with the motor replacement having first priority- just to avoid any troubleshooting confusion in case of a less than desirable result.So what is the latest on this? I am scheduled for a motor replacement on Tues, and they were going to also do this BMS update. Should I tell them to hold off?
