The charge curve on the Lightning hits the battery with a few minutes of high power before ramping down. A drop after the first few minutes of charging is normal.

The charge curve on the Lightning hits the battery with a few minutes of high power before ramping down. A drop after the first few minutes of charging is normal.Thanks @R.I.P. for the response. Maybe it is the cold. Just to provide some more information, I had just completed a 1 hour trip.
I’m pretty new to this EV stuff but I would have thought if it was a cold issue, wouldn’t it go pretty quickly to the low charge rate? I wouldn’t have thought it would draw130 kW for 5 minutes before dropping charge rate?
Also I tested and if I stop charging and then restart charging it will go back up to 130kW. Again after 5 minutes charge rate drops.
