Very, very low for 30%. Possibly charger limited in some way?Peaked at about 70kw, it did use the supercharger navigation trick to preheat the battery, and I was at about 30%SOC,

I have been wondering about that looking at the various check-ins around the place. Seems to be happening with Evie sites as well. I’ve had 187kW (@ 18% SOC, up to 30-odd%) at ChargeFox and above 70kW at Superchargers all the way to 80+%.Very, very low for 30%. Possibly charger limited in some way?

I used the Amp charge Northmead yesterday and arrived with 20% SOC came from the city and pre- conditioned for the approx 35 minute drive and I got 74kW max all the way to 72%.Lots of people reporting around 70kW on Ampol with some Ioniq 5 at 120kW. Does that mean they aren't cranked up fully yet?
You've nailed it! 200A is not terribly useful for 400V cars. Even 800V cars will only get max 160. On Chargefox 350s, I get 170kW at low SOC (18 to 35%). At low SOC, voltage is even lower, say 360V, so max may be 72kW on these ABBs without any conditioning. Here's to more V3 (and one day V4) Tesla Superchargers!So on 400V cars (the majority, including all Tesla's) you're looking at Max 80kW.
Less the heating (given its currently winter) means max reported in our cars of low 70kW.
Charged at Ampol Altona today and there happened to be guys from Ampol Corporate looking at the chargersYeah that explains it, tricky little buggers.
The 200amps is shared? Surely will be slower than a 50kW charger if both plugged in at the same time.

Explained the situation about 200A ABB Hardware limiting charge rated for 90% of EVs in Australia.

Otherwise App and charge went well
And the 90% of cars won't be happy at paying a higher (60c/kWh) rate when they can't actually achieve the higher charging speeds versus say Evie chargers at 40c/kWh (which will give you 50kW)
And less revenue to Ampol - though maybe it's like fuel, and they really only care about the margins made in the shop.Meaning charging stops might only be 10-15 minutes and drivers won’t care about the fewer kWh delivered in that timeframe - less cost to them!
