Why does my car charge more slowly than the power of the charging station?

The power of your charging station is a maximum. Your car often charges more slowly. This can have several causes:

  • Your car limits the power. Every car has its own maximum charging power (via the on-board charger). An 11 kW charging station will therefore charge a car that can handle a maximum of 7 kW at only 7 kW.

  • Your battery is almost full. Towards the end of charging, your car slows down the charging speed.

  • The battery is very cold or very hot. The car then limits charging to protect the battery.

  • The charging speed is limited. For example by load balancing, a set limit or a charging schedule.

Is your car charging much more slowly than you would expect and can't you find an explanation? Then contact the helpdesk via www.stroohm.com/helpdesk.
