Hi everyone,
So after I got my Model 3 I ran the battery down to maybe 50% to try a Supercharger so I drove to the one in Pickering near Toronto since it said it supports 120kW. There was a Model X there only, but both stalls I tried only charged at around 35-45kW until around 70% when I left since I was just testing it out. When it was at 48kW it showed 348 km/hr. When it started out it was at 62 or so for a few minutes but was showing 295km/hr or so.
Yesterday I went on a trip to visit family, so my car was at 25% or so battery today, so I went to the Bay Street location downtown Toronto in the Eaton Centre to try charging there. This location says max 70kW for the speed, which is the reason I went to Pickering the first time. Anyway, I plugged in and I was getting around 67-68kW, however the charging speed was 480km/hr. I was the only car here and had the whole place to myself the entire time. I went into the mall to shop a bit and got the notification 35 or so minutes later saying Supercharging is complete. My battery limit is set to 85%.
Not entirely sure how to phrase my actual question here but I guess I thought 480km/hr seemed really fast, like what I'd expect charging at 120kW, but I was only at 65 or so. What kind of km/hr speed would I expect if I was actually charging at 120kW?
I know it depends on the battery state of charge but I'm just meaning more in general. Does the kW directly relate to km/hr or are they separate? 480km/hr seemed really fast at 65kW so wondering if that doubles if I actually got 120kW or how that works. I just don't recall ever seeing anyone on here or PlugShare ever mention charging above 500km/hr, always seems to be in the 400 range.
