The first fast charge was fine though that was like 6am, the second fast charge seemed OK but I didn't watch or time it very well but I've had some luck with them before. The third fast charger maxed at 19.5kw the batter temp marker hit the first red line, the fourth fast charge the batter went into the read and 55C als 19.5kw max, the 6th was very short.
A guy I know with a Bolt and someone he knows with a KIA do large hundreds of mile trips with less problems.
With the longer EV range and spreading fast charging I think even the plus needs battery cooling, I wish Nissan would do it in a future model. No bumpers or such fall off a LEAF but that lack of battery cooling is still a problem.
I guess you would call this rapid gate?
Good info...but that is not what I bought my Leaf for or how I plan to use it....the Leaf pluses out weight this one negative issue for me. JMHO
