40A charging - miles per hour?

[TexasEV]

2015, S85 with autopilot located in West Palm Beach, FL. 50 amp 220, 14-50 with HPWC plugged in and set to 40 amps. Charge it whenever the F I feel like it. Get 30 miles/hr.

I think you mean 240V, not 220.

Yeah, 240v. Sorry, copied from another post.

90D 30 mph at 240V/40A

100d and ~26 mph at 230-235 volts and 40 amps

231V is about 4% less power then 240V at the same amperage. The difference would account for about 1mph charging.

It's also possible that your battery is either being actively cooled or heated depending on environmental factors. The car could also be charging the 12V battery system which would all place additional load an rob the main battery of juice while charging. This combined with whatever the EPA measurements are might account for the differences you are seeing.

That's for the wall charger. The OP was asking about mobile charger (40A) rates.
