DC Charging Sessions, expectations.  I rambled this morning, providing those on the forum with something to help satisfy their desire for new information while waiting:  Having already taken several trips to Northern Minnesota with the 2023, improvements related to DC availability over the years has simplified the drive greatly.  With the 2026, I'll be able to drive further and charge faster.  Neither of which is necessary.  They are just icing on the cake.  Looking through the 2026 manual, I haven't found anything related to sessions, maximums or throttling.  It's entirely possible all of that has exceeded customer expectations at this point, so tolerances become undocumented.  We've seen that with other aspects of battery chemistry.  Notice how temperature detail can't be found anywhere in a consumer manual.  What I did find will be of interest to this discussion on battery chemistry and DC charging.  We won't know exactly what's been shipped until an owner looks at their vehicle's door-jam for the model code.  But this does inform us that a new vehicle profile will be required for apps like CarScanner.  The current generation has 96 cells.  Rated capacity is important too, since that's how battery degradation is calculated.  Though we won't need ODB-II readings for anymore, since that information will now be available on a dashboard screen.

DC Charging Sessions, speculation.  Here's some insight as to how curiosity becomes a problem: "I can say with fair certainty that Toyota has made no pronouncements regarding DC charging limits on the newest EVs.  I asked my AI to look for it. Hard to prove the absence of something, but that's the best I can do for now.  I will keep looking in the not distant future."  What will he be looking for?  I makes no sense doing anything but wait.  A lot of valuable information can come from simply waiting.  Production vehicles will be available in just a few weeks.  Those who get access can provide real-world data.  Feeding the unknown is a bad idea, especially when it can so easily be prevented:  There are many who seek material to keep Toyota portrayed as their antithesis.  Lots of work went into feeding the "behind" narrative and that is now falling apart.  So, we have to be careful with speculation about this new generation.  I've seen that problem of outdated information carryover in the past.  It's quite difficult to get readers to recognize what's posted may no longer apply.  My plan to exploit the opportunity of having a 2026 so early and the fact that I live in Minnesota.  That won't help directly with long road-trips, but the video I capture will be quite useful with regard to battery & temperature discussions.
