I just bought a ZE40 R110 (2019 plate) yesterday. I've been having trouble getting it to charge at a decent rate on public chargers. Today the battery was at around 60%. I plugged it in to two different 22kW chargers, and both times the estimated charge time was around 6 hours. For one of these charging sessions I left the car for over an hour and added only 5kW hours of charge, so it doesn't seem like the charge rate increases after it starts charging.
It seems like the vehicle might be limiting the charge rate to 3kW, even though the charger is rated at 22kW. My question is, why? It is cold today, sub zero temperatures. Could that be the reason?
I'm worried that charging this car is going to be completely impractical if it's going to take >12 hours to charge 0 to 100% even connected to the fastest charger that the vehicle supports. Could this be a defect with my vehicle, or due to cold weather, or is this normal behaviour for a ZE40?
