DITB: not really. Remember each charger is limited to 40A total, so your 48A figure for single charger seems wrong. Also single phase goes up to 80A.
As I noted, these are gross values, ie 48A gross becomes 40A net, 13A gross becomes 10A net.
If you can correct the parts of the table that is wrong - it would be useful to have an entirely correct and clear table, so people can see exactly what they can expect with different combinations of equipment.
As far as I know, the principles are correct, while the chargers available aren't correctly contained in the table, either present or expected future chargers.
I have emailed you the spreadsheet I used for the table, in Excel format.
CHAdeMO doesn't use Model S onboard chargers. Instead it talks to car BMS directly and supply DC direct to the battery. In other words with CHAdeMO, the CHAdeMO charger works as Model S onboard charger.That's excellent. The table is clear and easy to understand. I think I got my answer clearly.
Concerning the max out 40A for each charger, the table is still hold true except for total charging current will be limited to 40A for single charger and 80A for dual charger; i.e. the utilisation is reduced for these cases.
How about CHAdeMO (if we get an adaptor)?

The only limit is the CHAdeMO charger. If it is max 50kW then that's the max, though after roughly 290km Model S requests less than 50kW due to taper.
There are CHAdeMO's from 10kW to 50kW, so you need to know the output in advance to estimate the charging time with your Model S.
10 kW capable on-board charger with the following input compatibility: 85-265 V, 45-65 Hz, 1-40 A
(Optional 20 kW capable Dual Chargers increases input compatibility to 80 A)
Core,
Thanks. Very clear. Once we've resolved the 40/48 and 80/96 question, let's jointly update the first post here to give a clear one-stop description of the options and limitations.
Regarding the 40/48 and 80/96 question, given what we know of the six sub-chargers, each with an 8A limit, and 2 per phase, it seems strange that there is an overall downgrade of that capability (when using three phase). The wierd 1/3rd and 2/3rd numbers shown in the table reflect that.
Tesla have always quoted the 40/80 limits. Even today, they say:
That is certainly true for single phase, but it seems that from what you are saying, when using three phase, each charger can do more than 10kW.
Can someone with a three phase 32A wall connector, and dual chargers, confirm that?
Having Dual Chargers and charging at 32amp three phase with 90-95km/h. I believe this means each charger doesn't do more than 10kW.
I believe typical is 300 Wh/mile, and rated is something like 250 Wh/mile, both fixed value.
Checking my car again and again and I found my oversight. Sorry for a big confusion!
I now guess with relatively high confidence that:
- In U.S. car, they have Ideal and Rated
- In Euro, HK and JP, we have Rated and Typical
- Rated is Rated. Same globally. 187.5Wh/km or 300Wh/mile
- Typical is a new feature. That seemed a bit lower on my car than Rated, but it seems typical depends on past records!
How's that? I now switched to Rated and see what things look like.
