We’ll that’s interesting. That should be physically impossible since the macan has a 100kw/h battery and the maximum kWh you can charge at a 150kw charger in 26 is 64,95. kWh.

Does it mean that the Porsche only uses 92.8% of its battery?
documented here:

but this is the key picture - starting point 10%, current when pic was taken SOC @ 80% - elapsed time 26 min

69.xx means that it must have had a faster charging speed then 150kw. It’d require a constant speed of 161kw to achieve this

It's right at 150kW, actually. You are not allowing for rounding in these calculations.

"26 minutes" means anywhere between 26:00 and 26:59, and 10 to 80% means anywhere from 9.5 to 80.4%. SoC calculations can fluctuate by 1-2% as well, and the "energy delivered" amount also has losses in it going into the battery.

Nothing wrong with what Dave posted....just a lucky day when the EA stars aligned and everything worked to full potential.

I don't have omnipotent EV charging knowledge - but Macan is top-tier in terms of charging speed when everything goes as planned

on my road trip home form ATL to SJC I got more than 270 kW at a charger in Lost Hills, CA, and more recently did a 10-80% run @ 150 kW EA station in 26 minutes…

only EV I know that factually charges faster is the new Taycan MY'2025 or later - it simply stunning with top charging rates in the 320 kW zone for part of the charge curve

Macan EV at a working 800V 350 kW station can get a lot done in 30 min or less…it's more than adequate for road tripping and one of the best EV's for fast charging.
