EV9 could be the perfect road trip machine for a big family, but how fast can it rapid charge? I try it on a spring day (about 12°C), battle with some charging issues, and try battery preconditioning to see if that helps enable fast charging speeds.

I also get geeky with an OBD dongle and Car Scanner (https://misterev.co.uk/gear/obd-dongle) to see what’s going on in the background.
