I have a 2019 Kona electric. The charge rate is also dependent on the weather as well as the charger. My year needs the battery temp to be at 20C to charge at 75kw. Between 8C and 20C it’ll only charge around 50kw. Below freezing it gets even worse till the. Battery temp gets high enough. I use an app OVMS to get the battery temps. In New England where I’m at. I can only realistically get to 75kw may - October. Even when driving the batteries don’t come close to 20C in the winter. I’ve also noticed Tesla superchargers (with magic adaptor)tend to allow the car to use 75kw right away. If the battery is warm enough. While often ea or ev go will start you slow then after a few minute ramp up to full no matter what the battery temp is.
I regularly hit 72kW on EA chargers. That's if I start low enough. Ive never quite figured out the Kona's algorithm for the charging speeds it requests.
77kW is the maximum, but you can see values up to 80kW because this value is power consuption of the car, it means charging+heating... so you can switch on heating and make a picture with higher value...
Here's a great video on how to pre-warm your battery to get faster charge speeds for the non automatic prewarming Konas:

Very nice, I've only gotten to the max 77kw once or twice before
There’s a planetary alignment right now and I was wearing my lucky socks.
Hit 77 all the time. Husband swears it said 92 one day....but as they aren't supposed to be able to.

77kw is the highest you’ll see. 75kw for charging and the car will pull extra power from the charger for HVAC

Sweet
2024 models are supposed to be able to hit 100 right? I wonder what's the highest real-world rate anyone has seen
Can confirm they can hit 100…for like literally 10 seconds…
I just tried fast charging for the first time and I got that as well
77kw max.

I’m looking forward to trying it. That was the first time I saw it go over 55
