Hi
If I use a 150kw charger, will it charge any quicker than if I use a 55kw?

Sorry only had car 1 month and still a few things I'm unsure about, thanks.

No panic just found the answer in the FAQ section ?

Theoretically, yes. The ZS supports a charge rate of up to 76kW but it all depends on the starting percentage


As this graph shows, the speed decreases as you charge. Around 46% charge, the rate drops to 50kW - but this is still likely to be faster than a 50kW DC unit will deliver. So, if charging from 50 to 80+%, speed will be pretty much the same on both. I think!
 
Yes if you start at low states of charge, you'll get above 55kw up to about 40%. I've seen 80kw starting from around 10%.

Yes possibly depending on conditions up to c76kW. Beware though you may also be charged more on a 150kW as some chargers cost more for higher speeds.
