Please forgive a noob question, but I've just plugged in at the chargers in the northern quarter, and on a shared post only get 16 A.
Is this correct? or should I only get 32A when not sharing the post.

Not if the post can only supply 16A per port.

The post is listed as 7kw but I'm only getting 4

Can your car do 7kW?
Can your cable do 7kW?
Where/by who is the post 'listed' at 7kW?

 

[D_bistoptom]

Yes, the car charges at 7kw on my tethered Wallbox.
The post is shown as 7kw on the website and on zap map.
The cable came with the car (M3) and should be 32A, but I'm suspecting it may be the culprit.
I may have to try a different location.

I was just wondering what speeds others were experiencing on these chargers.

I don't think you've given us enough information. Northern quarter of where?

 

[charliestyr]

There seem to be a few reports of slow charging on this network (GMEV now becoming BE.EV - charging points across Greater Manchester)

I charged at the street post on Hulme Street last week and didn't notice getting a slow charge.

Check out the thread GMEV is changing as well for some more reports.

Sorry, Manchester BE.EV is the council run scheme.

Don't trust ZapMap.

Is it one of the old Elekromotive posts - Port Street?
I know BE.EV have replaced most chargers but not all.
The old ones were sometimes fudged with a fixed 50-50 split rather than being dynamic as that made them slightly less unreliable.

 

[D_bistoptom]

No, it's brand new they only upgraded it about 4 weeks ago.

It world be pretty disappointing if the cable that came with the car didn’t support max charging rate - unless the car is 2nd hand and the cable was replaced for some reason. A 16A cable would be cheaper.

I know this is an old thread, but I charged on a "tall" Be.EV unit over the weekend which their website claims to be a 7kW charger but I was only getting half that, and I know that my car does 7kW through that cable from elsewhere. There was no other car on the charger for the whole time I was there

Definitely wasn't a problem, as it was a free charge and I was there for 8 hours!

Also, my Be.EV card doubles up as my Engie card

Same happens to me on the velodrome, for Be.EV related issues, come here pls, @jaysmith08 is always around and is actually part of the staff running/planning the EV charging solutions across GM.

It was the Velodrome one I was at

Additionally, I sent some feedback about that one because in their app it's listed elsewhere (at the tennis courts)

Thanks for highlighting this. We have had some tripping issues with certain units that we're trying to get the bottom of and the Velodrome is one of them. There is a unit over the road at the Tennis Centre too which i think it working abit faster if you can adjust?
