Seems like Kyle from Out of Spec addressed this and then went quiet. Do the Supercharger limit Ford to 450 amps. Why is peak kW on 161 or so and almost 180 on EA. EA must give the full 500 amps.

Superchargers may seem slower due to Kyle from Out of Spec's analysis. Ford's Superchargers possibly limit to 450 amps, leading to lower peak kW. Electrify America (EA) likely offers faster charging, possibly providing the full 500 amps.

these are from my first Tesla session a couple days ago. Seems on par to EA to me.

This is from a Supercharger. About the same speed we get on a 350kW EA unit. I'm not going to watch his video, so I don't know exactly what he said.

Slightly 'Slower' and always dependable make the Tesla SC a winner every time. So you have to choose your tradeoffs.
