Since when Plug and charge work in Electrify Canada?

[ytwytw]

I’m very sure the f150 lighting doesn’t support plug and charge in Canada

I had roadtrip early January this year and it didn’t work for me

today I just plugged in at Toronto premium outlet electrify Canada station and… it starts charging automatically

$0.6/kwh without plus pass but I only need 20kwh for my next destination so it doesn’t matter

I guess it’s the hidden bonus within Tesla supercharger update?

great when I’m struggle to activate the charger and I need to run fast

Also for those people first time heard a place called Electrify Canada
They are terrible as they throttle their 350kw charger to 350A, not like EA is the full 500A charger

You're above 80% sub 60's is normal for my experiences on 150KW EA units

Displayed value is 83%, I'm assuming that is the dash display of the HVB vs the 78.23 raw HVB SOC

you may wanna look at the “DC Charger Max A” value, this value is irrelevant to the SOC, and it’s communicated from the DCFC station.

What is your best rate of charge considering this limitation, 120 ish KW?

for 350Amp charger, it’s about 115-125kW
For 500 Amp charger, you can see around 170-180kW

Glad to hear Plug and Charge is finally working. I've not seen it yet but I haven't used DCFC since the update. The numbers you are showing are still 144kW which is more than our Lightning can handle for more than a few minutes. I'd be happy with 144kW. The average for me is 125kW on my ER between 20% and 80% and quickly drops below 50kW after 80%.

Any chance your invoice shows a Ford PnC Discount? Wishful thinking....

But my actual charging speed is actually only 50kW...

This is normal with your SOC at 83%. If you'd checked a few minutes before, you were likely running 120kW at 75% SOC.

Correct, basically 375V*340A/1000=127.5kW

I think for those of you cares about charging speed, get an OBD adapter and start to get data out of the DCFC station.

It shows all info you want, even when the speed is throttled when the charging port is overheat (truck has no way to read out the overheat of the charging plug, as the speed will throttle by the DCFC station, and you will notice the DC Charger Max A starts to diving down from 350/500Amp)

There seems to be an increasing trend to deceptively label chargers' output using a 1000V nominal voltage. EVgo now has a number of "200kW" chargers near me that are limited to 200A.

What vehicle actually supports 1000V charging? I'm aware of nominally 800V cars that actually run 900-950V when fully charged but 1000V? Nothing, right? It's just fraud by the charging system operators as best I can tell.
