Tested. Works. Gloriously uneventful.

Too high a SOC for maxing out the Supercharging rate, but next time I’m down to sub 20%, I’ll take another swing at it and report back.

Max you can get is 185kw, that peak occurs at 45%. I posted this charging curve previously, but will repost it here on this newer thread. This was in cooler Phoenix temps in December, using a Magic Dock. The Tesla chargers will not hold this curve in hot temperatures.

That dip at 45% is just the boost timer going off, right?

No it is the truck dropping the current request from 500A to 400A. When I did this curve the truck never showed limited by charger. Then at 75% it begins to ramp the current request down, because the voltage has reached 400V.

I am charging at Tesla right now, in 60F temps from 40% to 70%. It ramps from 185kw to 150kw between 45 and 55%, just like my previous charging curve.

So as long as ambient temp is low it can stay above 300A.

My second charge today was at an EA site that was full when I arrived, then a car left one of the 150kw stations jsut as I got there. That charge was from 20% to 60% and the rate just stayed right above 170kw the entire time. The average I got on the Tesla charger was 166kw. So basically charging at a Tesla station at 400V is equal to charging on an 800V 150kw CCS station.

I went to a "Dupercharger" (getting dupped since it is not super) when the EA station I wanted to use was full. I got 183kW at 40% and put 58kWh in 25 minutes. It was about 90F, but the charger port was in the shade. I noticed the power level drop to 140ish kW when another tesla started charging aside of me...

I 100F I have seen it drop to 120kw, without any new cars showing up. With my Rivian I was charging alone at a site in 90F temps and it dropped from 200kw to 140kw in a few minutes.
