DC charging time

Indicative DC charging time 10→80%, derived from battery capacity and charging power — not measured by us. Actual time depends on the charging curve, temperature and starting SoC.
Charging situation10→80% (min)
At model peak (140 kW) ~ 48
At a 150 kW charger ~ 48
At a 50 kW charger ~ 135
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.
