Yesterday I returned to Toronto after being out of the country for 9 days.
The SoC had dropped from 66% to 59% during that time, which is more than I've previously seen. I never used the app while I was gone, nor do I use sentry mode or any other monitoring apps.
What I was mostly curious about was how much power I'd get from the supercharger. I was expecting far less than 250 kW since the car is now four years old with about 127,000 km on the odometer. I arrived at the Kingston, ON V3 superchargers with 3% SoC left, and after initially ramping up to ~105 kW, it went up to 255 kW, more than rated. The outside temperature was about 20 °C, and I set the supercharger as my target when I was about half an hour away from it.
I'm pretty happy with that kind of charging speed. The ease of use and the charging speed make the price per kWh a bit more tolerable.
What is everybody else's experience? Is that consistent with other M3's or should I consider myself lucky?
