I pulled into the new Superchargers near Newark DE yesterday afternoon. 1 side of each of the 5 "pairs" of chargers were occupied, but 6 A & B were open, so I went to 6B. My battery at the time was in the mid 20% range. At first, things looking to be charging at a normal rate, then the rate of charging started to rapidly decline. I know that the charging slows down significantly as the battery starts to reach it's capacity, but I was far from that, so I started taking pictures on five minute intervals with my cell phone. Weather was good with an outside temp of 69F. Here are the results:
Battery% W V A
3:10 114 368 313
3:15 95 373 256
3:20 78 379 205
3:25 66 382 173
3:30 56 58 385 152
3:35 62 54 388 139
3:40 67 48 391 126
Is this normal? If I'm interpreting the above correctly, the often repeated stat that Superchargers can add at a rate of 150 - 170 miles of energy in 30 minutes seems very doubtful. Am I interpreting the above correctly?
If anyone in Tesla land wants to see the pictures I took, I'm happy to share them.
