I’ve had my 2015 MS (P85D), my first EV, for well over a year. Overall it has been brilliant and I wouldn’t want to go back to an ICE. Over this time I have experienced a constant flow of uncertainty both with respect to my MS and EVs generally and it goes on. I am hoping that the broad knowledge of the TMC can help me out.
Question:
Why is the ACTUAL charge time always way longer than the MS ESTIMATED charge time? Or is it just me?
An extreme example of this was at Birmingham St Andrews V3 Superchargers:
Are others experiencing not just long charge times (pain in itself) but gross errors in charge time estimates?

An extreme example of this was at Birmingham St Andrews V3 Superchargers:
- I was the only car there
- Cold car and battery not sufficiently conditioned
- Initial SOC 14%
- Initial charge rate 2kW (this is not a typing error just 2kW!)
- Estimated charge time 70 minutes to 100%
