Set Max Charge KW


Avatar

As various cars have different limits for their maximum kilowatts at DC, and since DC chargers themselves will not always reach their maximum rate of charge, it would be great to be able to configure the maximum KW expected from all charge points as a global setting so that the app is not underestimating the potential time needed at a stop and to save having to change it in each individual charger.

I also would like my Mach-s max 150 KW be a default for me.

Hi Chris,

This should already be incorporated in the vehicle model. Or do you mean that your car performs differently with chargers from certain networks and that we fail to match this?

Hi Katya,

Yes I imagine that ABRP has the maximum KW set for the vehicle model. I guess my suggestions/feature request would be:
a) to be able to see what that maximum is set at, globally.
b) be able to modify that global setting.

Another good reason why is that most DC charging providers set their prices based on maximum KW, so giving people the ability to set this globally for all chargers would be a way of control price as well.

Cheers
Chris

I support this suggestion. My car can charge up to 50 kW CCS but a 350 kW charger is a lot more expensive than the 50 kW charger.
