Charging curves
FINDINGS: 1. Charging powers are very sensitive to outside temperature. 2. In cold weather, on a 100 kW station, the power increases with the recharge level to reach almost 70 kW, up to a battery recharge level of 80%. 3. From a battery level of 80%, the charging power drops drastically to oscillate around 20 kW. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Take advantage of 100kW charging stations, if available, but make sure you get there with optimal battery temperature. 2. Stop charging before 80% charge level.
