I went to an EVGO / Meijer location today to charge and play with some logging and had a really weird session where the charge would randomly drop to single digit kW. The interesting thing is that if you look at the darker yellow line, that's the reported (by the truck) actual State Of Charge, sometimes it spikes, even beyond 100%
The requested current (from the truck to the charger) is all over the place.
What I don't have in this log is the available/max current from the charger, so I can't tell if it's the charger causing this (high probability as it was a bit flakey getting going) or if it is the truck going crazy.

Have anyone else seen something like this ?
As a contrast, my EA charge from a week ago, smooth as butter.

Could be a dozen things. Without repeating the scenario, there’s no way to know what’s going on. Could be the truck, could be the charger, could be the utility supplying the electricity, so on and so forth.

I've always charged at EVGO stations and have the same thing happen as above...

Never tried to DCFC anywhere else.... interesting to see that the curve is nice and smooth at EA.
