Pro charging at 150+ kW?

[msadan]

I just charged at an Electrify America DC fast charger. Charged from 20% to 81%. I wasn't paying much attention to the charge rate, but I did check it once about half way through the charge and the charger was showing 156 kW. This is on a Lightning Pro, with the smaller battery pack. Interesting, because according to the Ford web site the maximum charge rate should only be 120 kW.
And for what it's worth I'm currently two for two charging at EA - both times plug & charge worked the first time with no issues. Today's charge was relatively fast, 33 minutes to deliver 63 kWh.

That is good throughput !!
My best charge session was 98KWH in 44.5 minutes peaked at 144KW

Using an EA 350kW unit I had 159kW even after a few minutes. But when the DCFC stations are working, a 150kW unit is fine for me and maybe easier on the batteries?

Used EA DCFCs twice yesterday, first maxed out at 165kW, second at 168kW. Both times my average charge rate was 125+kW, both times charged from around 25% to around 75%, outside temp 32°. 2023 Pro with the 98kWh pack. So, way faster charge times than expected given Ford’s published 120kW max DCFC charge rate.
