Charging Speeds

Thank you all for the useful info. As a 1st time EV owner, I am learning to charge/use my EV the "right" way so it last longer.
I don't see anything about pre-conditioning before charging like I read elsewhere. Do the Solterra has something like that? or what should I watch out for on a road trip? Thanks!
The Solterra currently does not have battery pre-conditioning for DC charging. Only thing you can do is drive it harder for 20 mins or so before DC fast charging. But that doesn’t necessarily work the best.
 
bZ4X (probably FWD) does best in this test

Interesting results for a six minute charging test. Probably the winner bZ4X was the Panasonic FWD variant.

“… measures miles of range added from 10% SOC (state of charge) with a 6 minute fast-charge.”

35 miles of range added for the bZ4X, 28 for the IONIQ 5, 20.5 for the Rivian.
Interesting. But what a dumb test lol
