We took delivery of our ZS EV a few weeks ago and have had to rapid charge a few times. The rapid charging is oddly slow compared to the Nissan Leaf that we used to own. It doesn't matter what I do, it always seems to max out at about 20-30kW. Even when the battery charge is low (e.g. 20%), and even if we've already driven a good distance, so the battery isn't freezing cold, I can't get above 30kW. Temperatures have been about 10 degrees on each occasion, so not hot but not freezing either.
This is happening on different chargers (Ecotricity and Instavolt), and I'm using the correct CCS connector.
Is this typical - is the car just not very good at rapid charging, or have we got a lemon?
