I'm on my 5th EV over 8 years, so I do have some experience of using rapids, including using one of the rapids I mentioned with the previous Leaf (several times).
That specific rapid would have (initially at least) delivered 47kW to the Leaf (using Chademo, not CCS, of course). It delivered 33kW to the Enyaq. The other of the pair was not being used at the time.
Rapid charger power restriction (excluding car and battery factors) is usually down to:
- two charging on the same rapid, the available maximum power gets shared (if set for dual charging)
- using one of a row of chargers, where the grid feed is limited (i.e. the incoming cable). Sometimes the chargers can intelligently share the power between them, so it matters what vehicles are connected to the other chargers.
- I don't think that there are dynamic factors which impact the grid feed, except possibly in places like Braintree which have an on-site grid level battery, so local level of charge may be a factor.
My concern is that the Enyaq is not taking charge at any reasonable level - a factor controlled by the car's battery management system, and certainly not up to the graphs I've seen published, which indicate that it should take 50kW from a 50kW charger until quite high up the charge level. In a direct comparison with the Leaf (50kW max), the Enyaq (125kW max) appears to be charging at a slower rate - this is dire when you consider that the Enyaq has temperature control on the battery pack and the Leaf has no such luxury.
I can only hope that the forthcoming software update resolves this issue. Otherwise, I'll be looking closely at how early I can swap back to Nissan and get an Ariya. Despite the Enyaq being a very nice car, Nissan's EV experience over VW Groups inexperience is glaring obvious to me.
