1MW/800V architecture = 1250A
1 comments

The 1 MW chargers installed until now (in China) are 1000 V / 1000 A.

So the charging voltage has been increased, to allow a less increase in the charging current.

I assume that the car negotiates with the charger the charging voltage and the maximum charging current, and then the charging proceeds at the limits established by the least capable of the two.
