While InsideEVs has yet to do independent testing, some early reviewers are criticizing the Chevrolet Equinox EV for its charging curve.
The average owner's experience while fast charging an electric vehicle has always been difficult to nail down. Different charging locations rated for 350 kW can provide drastically different charge speeds even while charging the same vehicle at the same time of day. Due to this variability, one individual’s charging experience should be taken as only a single data point.
There the charge speed dropped like a rock, bottoming out at 60 kW with only a 30% charge. Shortly after, charge speeds slowly increased, hitting 90 kW at 72% charge. Needless to say, this is an unusual charging curve. So he took his Equinox EV to an Electrify America station later that day for comparison. Here, charging peaked at 150 kW until reaching a 28% charge, then again plummeted to 65 kW at 40%, before inching back to 95 kW at a 65% charge level.
