Traveling through Quebec this past week. Have been carefully preconditioning the car every AM and following the nav's recommendations for supercharger stops. Car has been spending a lot of time preconditioning before each SC - maybe an hour of drive time - and burning a fair amount of charge doing so, too.
Charge rates have been...low. Here I sit at the St. Eulalie SC - notionally a 250kW station - not paired with any other vehicles and it seems unlikely the whole station is having some kind of capacity limit as it's under half full as is the adjacent CCS station, and charging is chugging along at about 130kW instead of the expected 200-250.
Is the car simply unable to heat the battery adequately in these temps? It was about 0F when we set out (preconditioned and at 100% charge) this morning and it is 12F now.
