CHARGING MY MOBILE DC FAST CHARGER FOR THE FIRST TIME

EV Channels Review

Kyle from Out of Spec Reviews documents the first DC fast charging experience of their new Charge Rigs Flex 120 mobile charger. The unit, boasting 120 kWh of LFP storage and dual 120 kW charging ports, was towed to an EVgo station for its initial charge. The reviewer highlights the convenience of the mobile charger as a stop-gap solution while track-side DC charging is installed. Key takeaways include the charger's ability to maintain a high charging rate (around 114 kW at 200 amps) even at high states of charge, and its surprisingly quiet thermal management system. However, a significant bug preventing AC charging was noted, requiring a remote software fix. The reviewer also expressed a desire for higher amperage limits (e.g., 500 amps) for even faster charging. Despite the AC charging issue and the 200-amp limit, the overall impression is positive, with the mobile charger proving robust and capable for its intended purpose.
