I've been away from the forum for a while so this may be old news. I took a long road trip this past weekend and so I used the Superchargers for the first time in months at a low SOC.
I have a 75D that is (if I remember correctly) 350V. In the past, my max charging rate, even if I was the only car at the Supercharger, in perfect weather and with a sub 10% SOC was about 96kW, with about 92-93kW being more typical.
I think I was told that that 100kW was the theoretical max of the 350V batteries but that almost nobody could achieve that.
On this last trip, I was pleasantly surprised to see up to 118kW charging speed. And that lasted till about 25% SOC before it began to taper.
Was faster charging for 75kWh batteries something I missed in release notes for a recent firmware update? Or just a by-product of some of the posts I used being 150kW posts instead of 120kW posts? Or the battery pre-heating? Or a combination of all of these things?
