I used two different Blink DCFCs yesterday and both stated 60 KW power available. Blink could allow the 2nd car to start charging as soon as the charging rate started to taper on the first car but does not. Is there so technical reason for this?
As it stands now, we are getting lines mostly from people wanting greater than 80% which takes much longer. I see no reason why the 2nd car cant start since the first car's rate will be a very small fraction of the station's capability.
Please note that this behavior on the part of Blink users is at least heavily influenced (if not solely caused) by Blink's "flat $5 fee" pricing policy.As it stands now, we are getting lines mostly from people wanting greater than 80% which takes much longer.
