Most likely, it's closer to the power source, which means a lower cost for Electrify America.Nice to see progress here! This will be the first truly fast charger (>150 kW) in Omaha.
Does anyone know why EA picked this Target location at W Center Rd and S 180th St? It is very far from the major travel corridor of I-80. The Target at I St and S 126th Plaza is a far better location closer to the junction of I-80 and US-275.
Are you the first customer to charge there?We're live!

Did you get full speeds in your Ioniq 5? I was there exactly a month ago in my EV6. Such a shame I was exactly a month too early, but I'm glad EA brought this site online earlier than anticipated (they quoted by Fall 2023 in their tweet reply to me).We're live!

Dunno for sure, but possibly. I tried checking the electric meter but there wasn't a kWh register being displayed.Are you the first customer to charge there?
I topped out in the low 200's, but plugged in in the mid-30%'s range. Overnight temps are down in the 50's, so I suspect the battery was still a bit cool and the SOC a bit high. It dropped to 156kW a bit earlier than I expected, but stayed there for the rest of session. I had just gotten the ICCU update, so I'm not sure if that changed anything for charge curve.Did you get full speeds in your Ioniq 5? I was there exactly a month ago in my EV6.

We could probably have a separate (off-topic) discussion about charging speeds. But without knowing exact battery temperature data, most of it would be speculation. You should be able to hold the full 305 amps (200+ kW) until the battery max temp hits 50°C. That should be about 10 minutes of full speed charging. It should allow you to hit those speeds until 70% SoC or so.Overnight temps are down in the 50's, so I suspect the battery was still a bit cool and the SOC a bit high.

By the low 30% range you should be around 225 kW pulling the full 305 amps. I'm not sure exactly what the cold battery taper amperages are but it seems like you were only at 270 amps (around 740 Volts).Yeah, the peak power seemed like a cool battery to me (yes, speculation). The sudden drop to 156kW almost seemed like a power module dropped out (pure speculation). Others have had normal sessions since mine, so I'm not at all worried about it. My R1T session was normal as well.
