I believe that Taycan uses up to 350kw so when that car is there an another car it cuts back your speed automatically. Otherwise the rate you receive from that station is governed by the municipal rates to the station owner and what the owner is willing to pay the municipality /electric rates for in servicing their EV customers. So they would reduce the speed down so it won't pull so much off the electrical grid from the town/city. Hope this helps.

Two years ago in late 2021 the free charging via Electrify America was decent but these chargers are not being upgraded, are down often with only 2 of 4 charges working, not being fixed for a month or more and lines existing to use two of the four chargers (two often being down). Also the speed is at 70 Kwts and not even close to 125 Kwts even when your EV is at 20% charge for 180 miles a hour and drops down to 130 miles an hour after getting to 50% charge. My advice is do not consider the free charging for 2 or 3 years through Electrify America for any EV vehicle u buy since you will likely be going to paid chargers that do charge up to their full potential when fast charging on any trip exceeding 200 miles. I am having to used paid fast chargers to avoid delays of 30 to 40 minutes on top of time to charge it at Electrify America chargers.

While your car is charging, can you wait in your car listening to radio?

On the last Fiskerati Live, you recommended a video that detailed required equipment to be V2H (power house) ready. I am having trouble finding such a video. Any links?
