Supercharging Speeds

[Kitster]

Yep I navigated to Winchester supercharger and it was only when I was 21 mins and 21 miles away that preconditioning started ..and yes high pitch noise heard when preconditioning

Preconditioning will vary based on map routing/distance/speed and battery temp. (Too high or too low). Many factors dictate when it’ll kick in or if it’s required at all.

ref supercharger speeds on shared stalls. It’s definitely been like that for most part of 2019, so wouldn’t say it’s a new thing. Rate will be cut when another car turns up on your pairing. You’ll still get the higher speed, but it’s certainly not the headline available speed for your SoC. This is not a factor on V3 charger location(s).

This has been discussed a few times on the main UK supercharger thread and a few others with graphs to back up.

I was at Fleet SuC today. 139-140kW when I arrived and wasn't sharing. 66-74kW once another M3 joined me next door.

No preconditioning on the way.

Seems about right to me.

We seriously need that Supercharger to open on A303 Amesbury (or Shame'sBury as it's known) as gunning to Winchester for a charge only to have to wait (2 stalls and a bit slow) is a pain.

There are 2 Polar chargers at Amesbury you can use.

At a much higher cost (Free supercharging) and it gets Iced quite a bit also. I'm actually pretty happy with home charging for 4.5 hrs on 5p/kwh rates, gives me about 90 to 100 miles a night.

But for those moments when you need to go on a longer errand it would be handy to have it ready this year, it's stuck on ...'coming 2019' but I'm not sure it will now. There is a big old gap between Winchester and Exter for Superchargers

I think Amesbury was coming soon in 2018.

Being built now, just walked past construction site and men building it.

No that is Stonehenge, it's been like that as long as I can remember!
