Why is this SUT juicing up faster?

[spyderdude]

So I was at the charging station the other day, and I noticed something weird. This beefy SUT parked next to me was charging way faster than my SUV, even though we were both plugged into the same chargers. I'm talking like it was getting a bigger percentage jump than mine. Is that a thing.. or am I just imagining it?

I’m assuming you’re talking about the CCS fast charger. The 24-module packs have a higher voltage than the 20-module packs, so they charge faster. An SUT with just 20 modules charges at same rate as an SUV.

With the same charging setup, the SUV's smaller battery will mean it charges at a faster percentage rate than the SUT.

Okay, so here's the real question: Were both cars at the same battery percentage when they started charging? Because, you know, the closer you are to 90%, the slower the charging gets. What do you guys think?

It could be that the SUV’s port has a connection issue, which might be messing with the charge speed. But, honestly, it’s more likely that your observation isn’t quite accurate.

You're not seeing things charging speeds are definitely different even at the same station! It's mostly about the car's charging system. Some EVs like the Hummer EV SUT can handle higher voltage so they charge faster if the charger allows it. how full and how warm the battery is makes a big difference. A battery that;s low or warm will charge faster. some EVs just have more efficient charging systems. a bigger EV can totally charge faster than yours at the same charger.

Yeah, that’s a thing! Some cars can charge faster than others even on the same charger, depending on their charging capacity. Your SUV might just have a lower max rate compared to that SUT. It’s not just you

It all comes down to the car’s charging tech and how it’s able to handle the juice from the charger.
