The PlugShare app will tell youHello
I haven’t charged my model y anywhere but at home u my Tesla wall charger but I will be using superchargers soon
visually how do I tell if the supercharger is 250kw or 150kw, one of the needed stops there are 8 250kw and 8 150kw chargers
Unless it's changed, you're only guaranteed 1/4 of the available power (37.5kW) if you are the second to plug in at an A/B pair at a v2. As the first car tapers down, the current available to the second will increase. If the first car is using more then 3/4 of the capacity (112.5kW), it will drop to 112kW max when the second car plugs into the pair.The 150kw share a power source with their neighbor, so if someone is next to you, you'll both get 75kw until one car's battery can't accept that much and the extra gets sent to the other car.
The OP is trying to understand how you differentiate between 150 kW and 250 kW chargers at the same location once you are there. The map pins don't tell you that.Actually, @RedTesY has the right answer. On the car's screen, tap the lightning bolt. On the SC's thus displayed, tap the red "pin" on said icon and it will tell you the power level.
Alternatively, on the app, go to "Location". On Location, select the Charging tab (on the right bottom). Around where you are, a bunch of those same red "pins" will appear for local Superchargers. If you tap one of the pins, (and I'm looking at the display right now) it'll tell you the power level, how many stalls are available, how busy the SC is likely to be at the moment, and how much it'll cost you at what time of day, in cents per kW-hr.
If you want to find out the details on SC's where you don't happen to be, "X" out of whatever SC you happen to be looking at, use your fingers to size/move the map around to where you're interested, and the SCs there will pop up.
With a selected Supercharger one can also find out if there's wi-fi, bathrooms, eateries, coffee, or shopping in the area. On the car, the icons for those things are at the bottom of the pop-up window on a Supercharger; on the app, scroll to the bottom and the icons are there.
Quick and dirty way to tell. If you see letters C or D in the numbering scheme, it's a 250K. If you only see A and B (like 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, etc) it's 150k.Hello

There have definitely been changes to this behavior over the years and right now it seems there may be some variability between sites.Unless it's changed, you're only guaranteed 1/4 of the available power (37.5kW) if you are the second to plug in at an A/B pair at a v2.

But it did change several years ago. That is the way it originally worked, but then Tesla seems to have switched it some years ago to immediately doing a half and half split as soon as another car hooked up, instead of first car getting a majority as it used to. I don't think we've seen a report of any of the sites doing it the old way in the past few years.Unless it's changed, you're only guaranteed 1/4 of the available power

Learn something new everyday. I don’t think I’ve had to share an A/B pair in years, or if I had, it was in the nerfed 85kWh days when I wouldn’t have noticed.But it did change several years ago.
Um. Sure, there's ways to tell once one is there; but the map pins do tell you that.The OP is trying to understand how you differentiate between 150 kW and 250 kW chargers at the same location once you are there. The map pins don't tell you that.

Because your Tesla charges at home is no guaranty it will charge at a Supercharger. Suggest you stop at a local SC and make sure it works before hitting the road. A couple of people here had issues the first time they stopped at a SC.Hello

OK. 250 kW max.Not this one. 11 stalls of 16 available. At least one stall offers 250kW. There's nothing here to tell you that 8 (or for that matter, any) of the stalls at Brattleboro are only 150kW, or how to tell which ones are 150kW and which are 250kW.

This is my understanding:Hello

Does that show 2 pins, one for each rate? Or 1 pin, 250kW max?So, near my place, there's a Wa-Wa that, at one time had 150 kW SC's. And a couple years later, the Supercharger Fairy came by and graced the other side of the building with 8 250 kW stalls.
Are you asking if they were built with different rates? I've never heard of a site that started with a mix of 150/250. The only mixed 150/250 sites that I know of were v2 sites that were later expanded after v3 was released.So, yeah, that's a proof of concept that a location may have more than one charging rate. But pretty much every other SC that I've visited had 72kW only, 150kW only, or 250kW only. Um. Are different rate chargers typical at Supercharger locations?
I know that the West Lebanon, NH EA site was built with 150 and 350kW stalls (plus one 50kW chademo)Admittedly, of the half-dozen Electrify America locations I've seen over the years, those locations had different rate chargers all over. But not the Tesla ones?
One pin with 250kW, and I know for a fact that one row of stalls is 150, the other row is 250. Built with the 150’s, the 250’s were added later.Does that show 2 pins, one for each rate? Or 1 pin, 250kW max?
Brattleboro, VT and West Lebanon, NH are the same - both started out with 8 x 150kW stalls. Later (after 250kW v3's were commonplace) they were upgraded with an additional 8 x 250kW stalls.

Yeah, but that’s EA.I know that the West Lebanon, NH EA site was built with 150 and 350kW stalls (plus one 50kW chademo)

V2 is slightly bigger cable and has a silver band connecting handle to cable, and V3 is slightly smaller cable with a black band connecting handle to cable.
