> CSS is rated to 200A
The current CCS standard is 500 amps and up to 1000 volts, so in principle up to 500 kW.
Typically the fastest CCS charger you'll see these days is 350 kW.
ABB's newer chargers are up to 360 kW: https://insideevs.com/news/583774/abb-installed-first-terra-360-chargers/ https://insideevs.com/news/583774/abb-installed-first-terra-...
Alpitronic's new charger is up to 400 kW: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6931968770349441025/ https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6931968...
Zerova's future chargers will be 480 kW: https://newatlas.com/automotive/zerova-prototype-10-minute-ev-charger/ https://newatlas.com/automotive/zerova-prototype-10-minute-e...
You need an 800+ volt EV and a battery chemistry capable of taking the faster charge rate to take full advantage of the maximum kilowatts offered by these chargers. A 400 volt EV will charge at up to around 200 kW on a CCS charger (500 amps times 400 volts). The area under the charge curve tends to matter more than the peak charge rate.
