I’m a noob who rented a Niro & charging makes no sense…

I work for Lyft and my car is currently out of commission so I used their program to rent a car that I can use for Lyft. They just got brand spanking new Niro EVs and they have special promotions that make them cheaper to rent than a gas car and give 30% discounts on charging so I thought I would try it out and see what the electric life is like for a week. I’ve driven electric cars many times before but never lived with one.

I’ve attempted to charge at a station twice and both times it won’t charge over 30kw even though I was at a 150 & 350kw capable charger. From research I understand the maximum charge rate is 85kw for this model and it depends on battery temp & how much charge is left. The first time I was at 47% and have been driving for a while so the battery may have been hot. But just now I pulled up with 25% left after driving for only 15 minutes and it’s still charging at 27-32kw…

Googling this stuff just results a bunch of information I don’t fully understand being thrown at me with nothing clear explaining it. Ive read that some cars require priming so the fast charging doesn’t start right away but it’s been half an hour and im still sitting at 27kw. So as I sit here for an hour and a half waiting for my car to charge I thought I would ask those who actually have the vehicle. Since I drive a lot I rented this with the understanding that I will need to top off at fast chargers because an overnight charge at home won’t cover me for the whole day. But if I’ve gotta wait an hour and a half to charge that means I’m not working so I’m currently really confused at how I see so many Lyft drivers using electric vehicles if this is the case.
