Reply to comment by Ancient_Persimmon in Ford’s EVs are getting faster charging and more affordable batteries thanks to new chemistry by Ssider69

I have a really hard time with the idea of more than maybe 500A sustained for any amount of time on that connector. Cite proof.

Whatever, downvote away. I have one. I can see the cross-sectional size of the pins. I feel like the "V3" superchargers, which deliver around 700 amps through this connector, are really the practical limit. My car does not have this, but I can tell you that when interrupted during the highest amperage (about half of the above) parts of charging, the connector is warm. I can't see tripling as feasible.

Wouldnt it be possible with the active cooling they’ve been adding?
