Chargepoint question

[Eryx]

Good Morning/Afternoon!

I'm hoping someone can help me understand why my Tesla Model S 2016 (manufactured around Oct) receives 16 miles of charge every hour from a Chargepoint Level 2, J1772, 6.6 kW charger.

I've noticed my friends newer Model 3 (manufactured late 2018) receives 23 miles of charge every hour from the same charger. While its only a 7 mile difference per hr, in the same 4hr charging session he will receive 28 additional miles of charge.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional details, and thank you in advance!

Regards,
Brad

He should get the same amount of energy as you get. The difference is that the energy in your friend's Model 3 drives further, than in your Model S. The Model 3 is more efficient than the Model S.

Hey Brad,
The Model 3 is more efficient. Driving efficiency, not charging. So both cars are charging at the same rate (KWh), but each KWh will push the Model 3 a lot further than the Model S. This has to do with not only weight and aerodynamics, but the Model 3 has a more efficient motor.

I did not even think of that! Thank you very much for the quick replies! Much appreciated!

Smaller, lighter car with a permanent magnet motor so it goes further per kWh.

Chargepoint will tell you on the app how much power they put into the car (ie, the volume of power.)
Compare those numbers, and see how you do.
