Mileage after DC Fast Charging vs Home Charging

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
I have searched and don't see any conversation on the topic of milage differences after DC Fast Charging (e.g. Tesla Supercharger) vs charging at home with a Tesla Wall Charger. I have noticed that I get significantly better milage in my Models S Plaid after home charging vs DC Fast Charging (e.g. 360 Wh/Mile vs 410 Wh/Mile) driving in near identical conditions. FYI - I'm comparing highway driving at 80ish mph in temps between 80-100 f.

Has anyone else experienced the same?

80ish MPH?! there’s a man that enjoys his Tesla! I haven’t noticed any difference in my mileage supercharging vs home charging. 192wh/km when I drive. 150-170 when my wife drives. What’s the conversion to miles? 192x1.609=308wh/mile? Does that seem right?
 
I too had this question, because I never had the "1%" option to compare until last night.

In another thread we have determined that my 2017 Model S 60D has a 75KWH battery capped at 60KWH. More importantly I have not touched, or modified the default settings in any way. I have the unit charging to 90%, as recommended.

SuperCharging in New Hampshire from 1% or less gets me 175 miles (displayed). That's charging to 90% as stated.
Wall Charging at home in New Hampshire with a Tesla Wall Charger V3 during off peak hours gets me 200 miles (displayed) at 90%.

I'm a little baffled. I know it's a cleaner charge, but I don't quite understand it.

I don't know but I could both agree with the fact that you're giving the battery more time to get there charge equalize.

The other factor I noticed on my 85D is that there is WAY more cooling going on at those charge levels with supercharging. At home it would just be a little water pump noise. On the supercharger it would be loud with fans, compressor etc running and it shows way more power used for the time after I start driving.
