Direct current charging stations capable of delivering electrical power at rates typically exceeding 150 kilowatts. These units bypass the vehicle onboard alternating current charger, pushing high voltage directly into the battery pack to restore hundreds of miles of range in under thirty minutes.
Route us toward an HPC station because we're down to ten percent state of charge.
