To anyone that still had an A pack on their car my sincerest apologies. The struggle is real. I was at Ellensburg supercharger last night where I've supercharged minimum 15 times since it opened and I've always pulled between 115kw and 130kw depending on my soc upon arrival. It's usually pretty low considering where I'm leaving from. I arrived last night with 5%soc and never got above 74kw it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get up to 70%soc so I could make it home. With my D pack this same charging would average me around 30-35 minutes tops. (Extremely disappointed)
really looking forward to getting my pack back.
There has been no documentation of any car pulling anything more than 124 kW - and that's in perfect conditions, single digits. 120 kW is only carried to about 20%, then progresses down from there, crossing the 90 kW threshold at about 42% SOC.
Here's the curve from a D pack at various SOC's:
15% - 122.9 kW
20% - 122.9 kW
25% - 118.9 kW
30% - 114.9 kW
35% - 104.7 kW
40% - 97.4 kW
45% - 86.8 kW
50% - 78.9 kW
55% - 71.2 kW
60% - 61.7 kW
From a time perspective, if everything is fully functional, it's simply impossible to say that it takes an extra 35 minutes to cover the difference between the two packs. Perhaps there was something wrong with the supercharger and it was limited too?
I only have one supercharging curve from my old "A" pack. I arrived at the SC with 20% SOC and plugged in. The car received 90 kW for only 13 minutes before it began the taper curve (42%). From 20% to 70% took 28 minutes total, so 15 minutes spent from 42% threshold to 70%. The final 70-100% took another 45 minutes, for a total of 1 hour, 13 minutes from 20%-100% on an A pack.
Meanwhile, my D-pack curve looks like this: plug in at 15% SOC. Time until 90 kW threshold reached (42%): 11 minutes. From the 90 kW threshold to 70%, 15 minutes. I charged only until about 97% on that run, and it took 1 hour, 10 minutes total from 15% to 97% on a D pack.
As you can see, the 42%-70% still remains the same. On an A pack, it took 13 minutes from 20% SOC to 42% SOC. On a D pack, it took 11 minutes from 15% SOC to 42% SOC.
The D pack probably could have done the 20% to 42% in 9 minutes or so. Savings would have been 4 minutes.
If you took an extra 35 minutes, there was something else wrong (cold-soaked battery, bad supercharger, etc.)
