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.
