Supercharger - Blakeslee, PA

At this site now. Tried two different stalls and seeing no more than 34kW. Had been driving for an hour so expected battery to be warm. Way too slow.

Stopped again here on the return leg. This time set the super charger as a destination to precondition the battery for about 15 minutes before arrival. Seen 70kW as a high so batt temp must be the limiting factor and not an issue with the super charger. Outside air temp was about 30F

Preconditioning for fast Supercharging can take up to an hour depending on the starting battery temperature. If you've already been driving for a couple of hours, you'll probably need at least 30 minutes of battery heating to get a respectable charge rate.
