As for charging stops - where in Dublin are you starting from and what speed would you drive at? I'm in Lucan myself and I would probably drive in one go to Limerick FCP to charge (190km) taking it a bit handy. Probably safer is to charge at Midway (superfast charger, up to 69kW) for a 10-15 minute charge and then full speed to Limerick. From there on only slow chargers I'm afraid, but you should make it to Valentia island (180km) with plenty to spare.

The car will tell the charger what rate to deliver but the charger can in effect do what it likes as its a direct connection to the battery? If thats the case maybe there is a fault and its just providing max, even for the Leaf's! :eek:

If we're fully charged when hitting the road, is a stop in Roscrea and then somewhere closer to destination (Valentia) going to be enough? We currently drive a Leaf so we are well used to the stopping to charge but obviously the Combo DC is a bit more scarce plus this is a longer distance than we'd ever attempt in the Leaf - I'm a little bit apprehensive about it tbh!

I think it's a software bug allowing the CCS plug to draw all available power on (some of?) the efacec units as I saw Ioniqs able to pull north of 65kW at Naas and at Midway. When the software was written and the units installed they probably didn't have a CCS car to test with, and certainly not one capable of pulling >50kW. From memory I have not seen higher than 400V DC on any charger in Ireland. However, the efacec units don't seem to report (to me anyway) the volts and amps. It only shows the instantaneous kW being delivered and also the total kWh delivered for the session. The DBT units show more information.
ELM327 wrote: » Perhaps it was, but it must have been faulty as the chargers delivering over 50kW is outside the rated delivery. The chademo protocol is limited to 62.5kW in the chademo 1 spec sheet. I have provided you with this information already on another thread. I understand there are some 100kW chargers being installed by kia but I do not know under what protocol these fall. Are they higher voltage DC? Higher amperage? 500volts at 125 amps is the max of the Chademo 1.0 protocol, giving a max output of 62.5 kW.
