You must have an adapter to recharge at Electric Circuit stations.

 

Charging curve

FINDINGS
1. No difference in power between a 50 kW charging station and a 100 kW charging station due to the CHAdeMO adapter whose charging power is reduced to 50 kW.
2. In ideal battery temperature conditions, depending on the battery temperature, the power gradually increases to about 45 kW from 42 kW (low load) to 48 kW.
3. Recharging power decreases rapidly from a charge level that depends partly on the model, but mainly on the size of the battery. 
This level varies between 70% (small battery) and 85% (large battery).

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Prefer 50 kW stations.
