Just a little question because i read 90kW max on the Soul EV with Torque Pro.
I may ask if someone have tested a 100kW chademo charge location ?

:) Thanks.

(in my location, i only have 43kW Chademo charger). :oops:
 
Max 69.1kW - http://arcticroads.com/nyheter/opens-120-kw-ev-charger-to-the-public/

I doubt this "demo" is anything else than just a demo. The article was made in november last year, and the list of certified CHAdeMO chargers as of 11-Jul-16 does not contain anything above 50kW.

The picture showing 69.1kW at 66% SOC would correspond to 180A => 2.4C which is a lot. If the CHAdeMO protocol v0.9 could support this I don't know...

I have a Delta 100kW charger in a nearby town, but it only supplies 125A as this is the limit of the cable connector. The CCS should be able to supply more, but I have not seen any reports of someone actually had any more power from the CCS either.

I think that today we have the limitation both in the cars and in the chargers, but that will hopefully change in the future.
