How is your charging speed at dc electrify america

I feel like my current charge speed dropped from 150 kW to like 120 max and mostly its around 70kW now, i wonder if it has to do with latest updates? Thanks

All those slashed lines on the right indicate it's the charger that is limiting the power, not the car. Here you can see there's a slight gap between the slashed and blue line which means the car is only asking for a little bit less power than the charger is saying it can offer. You didn't show your current charge status, but the car gradually begins to ask for less as it approaches and then once it exceeds 80%.

Yeah, you should be seeing 60 kW as you near 80% SOC.

On my recent road trip I saw some variation from charger to charger, but starting at 20% on a 350 kW charger it would quickly ramp up to over 200 and then start dropping until around 60 kW at 80%.

Starting at 40% SOC you might as well just use a 150 kW charger, as your max rate will be about 150 or so.

The other thing is battery pre-conditioning. When possible use the nav to get to the charging station which will pre-condition the battery and give you the best rate.

You can always share a screenshot of your charging curve for a suspicious session from your BMW app here and we can opine further.

Charging bar shows the hatched area is limiting your charging speed. Its Electrify America not you car
