Supercharger - Concord ON

[MarcoRP]

I'm not sure at all that it is the maximum rates that cause the slowdowns. For us in qc, it is the cold. Yesterday, in Mont-Tremblant, -30*C, we started "Super"charging at a rate of 6 kW! After a while the speed increased and we got 44kW when we unplugged with 240 kms. Be sure to review, on any database for the next users so they can use your cord, and get a faster charge

I was there yesterday at 14:30 and got 44 kWh with 200 km left in the tank. Despite the parking lot full, there was no ICEing. The No Parking signs are doing the job. I saw many vehicles aiming for the spots but then driving past.

Meh. I'd be more interested in cross-referencing the Hourly Ontario Energy Price (HOEP).

What temperature was your car battery even you started charging? If it had been parked all night them you hit the supercharger on your way out of town, your battery might have been the limiting factor. Charging when the battery is warm is more effective as one would expect.

Bjorn Nyland just did a video showing 0 to 1 kw of power at a supercharger when his car had been parked overnight at the supercharger in -15 weather. Wouldn't charge. So he drove the car and did yo-yo acceleration / deceleration for 5 minutes or so, and when he went back it started to charge more normally. Wasn't the supercharger, it was the battery.

Confirm rate of 44kW at SC yesterday around 14.00.

Best case scenario how much power should you get?

Best case scenario how much power should you get?

Theoretical max is 120kW. Most I ever saw was 117kW. Anything over 100 should be considered good. 44 is no good!

Then how goes 6 kW on a Supercharger?

Personally, I believe

Cold battery? Try a different plug?
And your wood trim is shining, protection on it?



Couple of my visits after 10pm always start right up @ 100kwh+

Maybe I should try not to charge at night then go to the mall (50km away) on Saturday noon to see if the speed decrease.

Before at Lawrence, any B connector is always slow for me (48kwh or below), switch to 1A or 4A always give me the 90kwh+

Plug MATTERS

Will be going again on Sunday will check it out. But I think someone has a point here. I was getting 94Kw at peak after 7pm yesterday at "off peak pricing"....but people charging "on peak" are getting 44....hmmm might be on to something

How does the time estimate of 1h 10 min makes sense, especially since you are doing a 100% range charge? At 6kW you will only get about 7kWh in 1h 10min. That doesn't get you to 100% charge.

 

[MarcoRP]

Started with 6 kw, then built up to 40 kw

 

[ytwytw]

Went to Vaughan mills last night 10pm
-20C
soc from 15%
80kwh max even after 30min

I think the temperature play a bigger role here

As regularly I got 100+

6 kW may have been the pack heater alone, no charging.

I just explained it to you above.
Maybe you're a visual learner...

Been there today around 17.00. The SC was almost full. By the way, stall 7A is not working - not latching to the plug.
The charge rate was 44kW max with 50% SOC.

Working nicely. Too nicely almost. Going to have to move before long!

10 cars there, no fossil cars

 

[sakimano]

13 teslas when I left, zero fossil cars. Mall is rammed full too.

That would explain why I wasn’t able to charge at that stall! Grrrr

 

[wallstguy]

At Concord now and it briefly touched 70Kw, but it’s staying under 65kw charging rate, have about 25% battery. Only 3 cars here charging out of the 20 stalls. I’m at stall 1A, no one at 1B.

Battery is not cold at all.
