What is your average DCFC speed between 10-60% in the winter? I've been asking on the Niro Inside EV forum and haven't been able to get a real answer.
The Niro EV has a fairly flat charging curve between10% and 60%. With a 100+ kW charger and a warm battery, the charging jumps up to 70+ kW at about 10% and drops off after 60%. The trip I mentioned in my post actually was a round trip from Texas to Colorado and lasted several days with two cold morning starts.
One time I charged after my first 130 leg of the day with an ambient temperature of 23 degrees F. The charger quickly ramped up to 53 kW then stayed at that rate until the battery warmed up at about 45%. At 49% I was receiving a charge of 76 kW.
The battery does seem to be pretty cold blooded. Even after several fast charging stops the battery still started off slower and then ramped up when the battery warmed up. Even with active thermal management, with our hot Texas summers, I think I would prefer a battery that like to stay on the cool side.
