Car reports incorrect amperage

[Mr Miserable]

I have just had a quick charge from a 22kW charger.
The car was reporting12 kw 16/16A which surprised me.
TeslaFi shows I was getting the expected 32A

Model 3, like many EVs, can only charge at ~11kW AC on a three phase charger.

I may be wrong, but I thought that 16 A per phase was the most that the M3 would accept from a 3 phase charge point? As such, the nominal charge power wold be about 11kw

 

[Mr Miserable]

OK In that case TeslaFi is wrong.

Happy with that. It is the amperage being reported which is at odds with TeslaFi

If you're on a 3-phase charger Teslafi often reports it as a single-phase-32A charger. The PodPoint ones at Sainsbury's in Filton that I regularly use do it. You can set a location in Teslafi and tell it that it's 3-phase in order to then get the right numbers.

An MS or MX will use 32A on each phase, while an M3 will take 16A on each - or 11kW.

Ah. Thank you
