I just Supercharged for the first time today, and I'm trying to understand how this monitor this better the next time.
I plugged in with 105 miles and I unplugged at 193 miles for a total of 85 miles.
My receipt shows Tier 1 charging for 23 minutes and Tier 2 charging for 2 minutes.
Tier 1 charging is up to 60 kw and Tier 2 is anything over 60 kw.
If our LR battery is about 80kw, then I would expect Tier 2 to kick in around 232 miles or 75% (60/ 80) of 310 mile range.
I understand the mileage isn't a perfect representation of kw usage, but that's a pretty big gap that it charged me Tier 2 around 185 miles. Tier 2 is double rate, so I want to minimize whenever possible.
Thoughts or input?
