If you have the time, level 1 and level 2 charge rates are easier on your battery. DC fast charging should be used only when necessary. Charging at home, or other slow chargers is also a lot less expensive per mile.
In my country Australia, v4 superchargers are rated to 350kw, v3 250kw, so this may not apply to Canada. If you're only seeing 70kw then possibly too cold and you have LFP chemistry, and your state of charge is not low enough, (faster the lower it is), LFP cars have a max charge rate of 170kw, NMC/NCA cars max out at 250kw though some users have seen slightly over 250, the max i've seen has been 236kw. Again this is in Australia with cars that predominantly come from GigaShanghai.

Couldn’t have said it better myself 👊

Wow this is great information. Thanks so much for sharing this. Appreciate it 👊
I was always told that it’s not level three it’s just DC fast charging?
Yeah that’s fair. I think people tend to use the terms interchangeably
