What you may be confused about is the miles/hr displayed is the average of the supercharging session up to that time. It's not the average of what the entire session will be, it that's what you thought markb1 said. If you want to see an instantaneous rate, switch the display to kW.I am not sure I understand. I have never heard of MPH (mi/hr) being an average over an entire session. I have always used MPH, and at every SC I have visited, I typically got around 340 MPH, and several times much higher, holding that charge rate for awhile, tapering down as my charge increases. Getting 340 (or 400) is obviously not averaged. Yesterday, I started around 110 RM, which I think is low enough to get a rapid charge. In fact, the photo above by Smilepak shows 288 after adding 8 miles (therefore, also starting at 110), so he was already "warmed-up" to the fastest charge he would get. It also seems that he was the only one. Shouldn't he be at 340?
The miles/hr display does not show what you're doing at that moment and that may cause people to charge longer than they need to, when they see such a high rate they think it's worth their while to stay a few minutes longer when actually what they're seeing is the effect of the early phase of the charging cycle.
