Mid Range charging speed.

And then there's the chargers that just can't seem to get going full speed, even when no one else is paired with you. Sometimes you just need to change to a different one to get a full charge rate. Maybe thermally limited due to a problem, or a malfunctioning charger in the stack it's using. Common enough.

Has anyone seen close to 150 kW with a MR? I pulled into a 150 kW capable charger after driving about 4 hours with 5% state of charge remaining and saw a spike to 125 kW, but sustained 121 kW for a while. The navigation system was routing me to the supercharger, so I assume it was using the intelligent warm up feature. I was running firmware 2019.12.1.2.

A plateau at 121 kW is consistent with what @JuiceBx recorded and I plotted here: 150kW Supercharging for Model 3

This is the same c-rate as the LR cars experience at 150 kW, assuming 37 cells per brick in the MR battery and 46 in the LR.

Anyone on 19.15.11 might see higher than 121kW though as it appears to include a test profile for V3 Superchargers. It might go up to 150kW in the MR.

With >3C as implicitly promised for LR, MR should get well over 180 kW, right?

The version 2 ones are not hooked up to do that. It seems 150kW is all they have equipment for in each pair.

Right, but my prediction is 201kW peak for an MR car at a V3 Supercharger. That’s only be below ~18% SoC though.

Thai thread is older but might have more Mid-Range owners on it so I’ll ask here. Does anyone have experience with charging rates to a V3 charger on a Model 3 Mid-Range? I’m guessing higher than 150 but lower than 200.

I believe my brother in law gets 187-200kW at V3 Superchargers. On his midrange.

On a road trip yesterday I charged at the Maple Shade, NJ V3 and got a max of about 203 kW, starting from about 23% SOC, this added 109 miles in 14 minutes and put me at about 67% SOC, Crazy fast. Then it started to drop off significantly. But impressed with this speed for the MRM3.

On my recent very long road trip I was able to get 180-185 kw on v3. And was getting a very consistent 150 kw on upgraded v2 superchargers. 180 would only last a couple of minutes, but 150 would hold until about 42% SOC. So in practical terms not much difference in wait times, maybe 1-2 minutes saved at v3. But it was super cool to see it peak above 180 kw.
