I am the new owner of a used 2016 Model S. I love it, but basically everything I thought I understood about charging speeds is wrong.
From my reading I understand that, with the exception of superchargers, I am effectively limited by the car to 11kw charging.
Have I got that right? So even if I plug into a 22kw charger from Source London or a 44kw charger from BP pulse I will still only get 11?
Does that apply only to AC charging, or does that apply to non-supercharger DC charging as well? Is all "type 2" charging AC? So for instance there's a bp pulse point near me which offers 43kw Type 2 and 50kw CCS - will I be limited to 11 in any case?
Will any of this change if I get the CCS upgrade (which I understand is £300) other than when I'm using a CCS plug? So does the CCS upgrade also unlimited type 2 charging to be above 11?
As you might guess from the above laundry list of questions I'm a little lost. Would appreciate some help or a link to an article which explains all of this.
