I took delivery two days ago and all going well so far, apart from one thing I can't seem to find the answer to.

I noticed on a lot of online videos when connected to a charger, people are quoting how many kW they are getting. However mine seems to quote it In miles per hour. Not that it's the end of the world, and I can do the maths, but how do you change it?

You can’t change it, the car and app both report in mph.

The charger should give you either a current kWh rate or a total kWh for a completed session.

I see, maybe I was just remembering the videos incorrectly.

Many chargers will show the speed rather than the car or app - for example Ionity chargers and Shell Recharge I think. You can work out the rate generally but no, there isn't a way to show it on the car itself in this format, only on the chargers themselves. Many newer models of charger will show the rate in kW - Instavolt do this too.
