Tom Moloughney found that when charging the Equinox EV from a 150 kW Electrify America station, the power never exceeds 100 kW, which is below expectations.
Even when using a 350 kW charger, the Equinox EV draws only 150 kW, and the time savings are minimal; this shows how charger capacity doesn't equate to faster charging.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV’s lower battery pack voltage, which can drop to 260 volts, requires more amps, which many 150 kW chargers cannot deliver effectively.
Charging at advertised rates involves finding chargers that can handle the necessary amperage, as seen in Moloughney's tests where Equinox EV rarely reaches 150 kW.
