Model 3 is a charging beast

[andifu]

Hi,


yesterday I traveled 269km (167 miles) to a IONITY charging station in Germany. Consumption was 229Wh/km (368Wh/mile) (Hello German Autobahn.) Speed was 150km/h (93 mph)) for most of the trip.


I arrived at the charging station with 6% left. The following 29 minutes blew me away.


Initially the charging session started with 130kW. After taking a photo of the charging screen I got back in the car. The power has ramped up to about 180kW.


After 3:49 minutes (!!!) I had 18%. The speed was 187kW.


After 12:00 minutes I hit 50%. The speed was still 141kW.


Since my next destination was 230km (143 miles) I charged up to 81%. I reached the mark at 29 minutes. (The Navigation predicted 23% remaining at the destination. The stretch to the Austrian border where 135km (84 miles) so I played safe by charging to 81. The speeds where 150 to 180km/h (93 to 112 mph)


I actually arrived with 17%


Combine the most efficient EV with high power charging and you are unbeatable.


Thank you.


Oh, btw. There was also a Audi Etron charging. It was charging around 116kW at 52%

Sounds about right. Here are other examples of charge sessions on 500A CCS chargers.

The lower graph predicts 3.6min to go from 5 to 20% and 25min from 5 to 80% under the very rare ideal conditions.

This lower chart is the best I've seen (thanks to its bar graphs). It enables me to easily see that V3 vs V2 is essentially a ~5min time savings for my typical road-trip supercharge which is starting at 5-10%, ending at 50-60%, and motoring onward to the next supercharger ~150mi down the highway and repeating. Not a big difference for me, but certainly a big overall improvement in number of possible supercharging sessions per day per stall/location across the network.

It's never getting old for me. Simply incredible.
I think they charge too fast. I'm not done with my restroom stop and meal before I get the warning text about idling fees
