Just wondered what the fastest rate people have used on the ZS. I'm currently at a MFG charged which boasts at up to 150kW.
I've been monitoring it and it peaked at around 45kW now it's dropped to 37.
Not a complaint as I didn't have much waiting around to go from 48 to 80%.

Is the rate limited but the car or the charger. I have photos if required. I'm the only one here (8 chargers in total).
Also it's 89p per kWh, is that normal for fast charging?

The peak the car can take (on the LR) is around 90 kW. Only ever seen this once with a fairly empty battery and warm day.

Realistically if you're arriving at >30% it's unlikely to get above 70 kW, even less so if you're at 48%!

89p/kWh is a little steep, but high prices at rapids are now definitely the norm
 
I used a 150kW MFG at the weekend for a 30% - 50% top up and it ran at over 80kW for the entire charge, peaking at 84.
Clearly perfect conditions as 40-50kW has been more normal on that charger over the winter.

Whether it's the car or the charger limiting the theoretical maximum charge rate depends on which is rated higher:
On a 150kW charger the rate is limited by the max 90kW that a ZS can draw.
