Odds and ends
What in the world is Multimodality? It’s brought up on page 317 of the manual.
Late this afternoon, I drove to EA charging units. I had set the charging speed to “ECO”. There were chargers capable of up to 350 KWt. I chose one which was capable of up to 150 kWt. I could see that was charging at about 100-103 kWt due to the ECO setting. It told me that it would take considerably more than 31 minutes to charge the HV with this wattage. So, I took it off ECO and boom. It was now charging at about 150-154 kWt. My question to you guys is this: does it hurt the HV battery if I charge it at 150 kWt or higher?

At home, I'd limit to 80%, but the sop foreman told me to go up to 100%

The way the ECP mode is described gives me the impression that MB wants us to charge at lower wattage. But personally, I plan to use 150 kW or higher on trips, for expediency. Furthermore, if the battery degrades to <70%, MB will replace it within the warranty period.
