Under the Chamedo standard - the car sets the charge rate
so if the battery can take 120A, that's what the car will ask for

Subject: [EVDL] Lithium Titanate EVs
Given that LTO (Lithium Titanate or Li4Ti5O12) cells are capable
(apparently) of taking a 90% charge in 10 minutes, I was wondering if
anyone had heard if the ChaDeMo standard - or CCS, for that matter - had
an alternative charge profile available to take advantage of this higher
rate of charge compared to the 'standard' 80% in 30 minutes it currently
uses? Seems a shame that if the ChaDeMo can put out 120A at 300V the
i-Miev (and Honda Fit) can't make the most of it.
Also, anyone with the ear of Vince Dale (ecotricity) knows if there are
any plans to increase the number of ChaDeMo chargers at any of their
existing sites yet? South Mimms seems like a good place to start. It'd
be interesting to have access to statistical data regarding peak use times
so one could avoid having to queue as I have had to twice now.
Regards, MW.
