Hi folks, I've not long moved from a Jaguar I-Pace to a Model 3 Performance, and I have a 7kw home charger. The I-Pace had a 90kWh battery and the Tesla a 75kWh battery, so I had expected the Tesla to charge faster (on a percentage per hour basis), by virtue of the battery being smaller.
However, the opposite is true. I'd noticed that it seemed to be taking a long time to charge the car, but hadn't really paid proper attention to it, until this morning. Last night my car started charging at 12:30am at 56% and finished at 05:44am at 80%.
I have cheap electricity from 12:30am to 04:30am for charging my car, and thought the car would easily charge 24% in 4 hours, but apparently not!
Why is it taking so long to charge?! The Jag reliably charged at around 9% per hour, so would have done that in under 3 hours, despite having a much bigger battery.
Could it be because the car is still so new? My car still only has 324 miles on it, so doesn't have many cycles on the battery yet. That said, charging at 7kw isn't exactly fast, so I wouldn't have thought there was a need to throttle it! I bet if I went and plugged into a supercharger it would happy deliver way more than that.
Or could it be a settings issue in my car that needs adjusting?
Help!
