It looks like the trip has the following DC chargers on the way:
Here is the battery temp.
If the kW never got above 50 kW, the QC station is coded for 50 kW, even if it supports 100 kW. It's odd that many QC stations that are rated for 50 kW, struggle to make 50 kW when plugged into a Leaf with a low enough SOC, Temperature, etc. EA stations are a good example, rated for 50 kW but only top out at +44 kW for example. When I did my QC station comparison some years back, QC stations that were only miles apart would struggle to make +45 kW when under identical conditions, another QC jumps up to +70 kW right away, etc.
I got the same experience with EVgo Charging Stations that Nissan partners with, supports and touts.
The same reason when less than 5 minutes remains on the 25,50,75 marks when charging that is just stops at 5 minutes, Nissan didn't want to code an interface for all the different types, just took one common one (for the 2018 I suspect) and just apply it across all models.
In the time that I have recorded and documented, the battery received 11 kWh in 14 minutes. This translates to a charging rate of 47 kW. A rate that is achievable with 50 kW chargers. That is why I assert that the 100 kW mention and listing in the manual including the chart on page CH-8 of the owner's manual is at the least mid-guiding and certainly not achievable.
It would be nice if Nissan could answer that question. They built the car, they verified the specs they published (that's an ISO requirement), just publish the test results so we all don't have to go drive around testing this and that.
You hit it right on the head Joe. Why did Nissan even bother to refer to the 100 kW charging for a battery that is air cooled? This is except to mis-guide. The 100 kW mention is a joke. Reputable car companies don't play such games.
Can you all go to the Charge Time Screen in Settings and let me and the others know whether you see 100 kW listed on that screen?
https://www.plugshare.com/location/552490 from the pics and listing has 0 CHAdeMO. It doesn't sound like the best place to be at night and I'm usually busy during the day. (I personally know Taycan driver StealthEV who commented.) I will swing by one of these days.
https://www.plugshare.com/location/247356 is the site in question. You can see from the older pics, there was CCS + CHAdeMO unit next to the B of A building but it is no more. It's a next gen CCS1 only unit now. The rest of the units there are also single CCS1 dispensers + 1 J1772 EVSE.
The purpose of this post is to review the Nissan Leaf's ability to reach the mentioned 100 kW rate or even the 0-80% in 45 minutes. In my experience, even with a 100 kW charger, my charging times are not any better than charging with a 50 kW charger. I posted the question regarding the lack of a 100 kW listing on the Charge Time Screen in settings. If other owners of the Plus have 100 kW listed and mine does not, that may indicate that my car has an issue. Can you check your settings?
This is really starting to look like the smoking gun that Nissan included 100 kW to misguide the consumer and the Leaf charging time is the same as the 50 kW charging in real life use cases.
That's very vague. Who mentioned 100kW rate? If it's Nissan, please back it up. If it's not from Nissan then it's not an official statement and that source is whom you need to go after.
Have you considered the possibility that your Leaf is broken or malfunctioning? 4 or 5 of us have mentioned or shown you 70kW charging, so there's enough evidence that it can and is being done. These 4 or 5 people don't have special Leafs likely any different than yours.
