So I had to make a long run in my leaf today and decided I needed to stop at one of the EVgo QC stations to make my range. I've only used QC once and that was when I purchased the car and was driving it home.
I plugged in the car , SOC at 38%, and went to the local shopping center to kill time and returned 30 minutes later. I was surprised to see that the car had only charged up to 91% in that time. Is this normal? I was only able to get a charge increase of 53% in 30 minutes? I understand that the impedance of the older pack can affect charging, but the available capacity of the older pack should negate some of that, I would think. I had plenty of juice to get home, but just was curious of what others experiences are.
