Tesla Charging on KIA EV9 is slower then what ABRP uses

With the current architecture of the Tesla charging system and KIA EV9, charging speeds are limited to about 83 KWH from 0 to about 90%. It is a steady charge, but with the voltage mismatch, it will not get peak speeds until true V4 chargers come out. Can you adjust the calculation to show 83 KWH as the charging rate?

    This is still an issue now about 1 year later. Very frustrating as it’s a relatively simple fix.

    This remains an issue, here in North America the Kia EV9 CCS equipped model years (2024-2025) charge at about 80-84kW while the native NACS models (2026+) charge around 115-120kW. ABRP continues to wrongly assume around 115kW average when using Tesla superchargers for 2024 and 2025 models.

    This is correct, at least for models up to 2025 model year (2026 model with native NACS in USA might use a new 400 to 800 volt conversion that improves this slightly). Needs to be updated as of yesterday Kia EV9’s can charge at Tesla Superchargers
