Accidentally over charged

[Scottie’s MachStang]

Had an odd one today. Plugged in at work. When I checked, found my car at 95%. Apparently I accidentally created a second “location “ at work defaulted to 100%.

as an aside, check out that range!?!?!

? your mission, Scottie, should you choose to accept it, is to find a destination 315 miles from where your MME is parked and see if you make it without adding any more electrons to your MME. Should you fail or be captured by anyone Scottie, the director and forum will disavow all knowledge of your mission. Although they will raise a glass in your honor and memory. Godspeed.

Are you using premium or mid grade electrons?

Best I’ve ever seen on my regular old electrons here is 336 miles at 100% (RWD CA Rt 1).

Funny you say that. When I first went electric I thought for sure the faster chargers (350) would be $$ than the 150.

I must be pumping alkaline Juice cause I haven't seen more that 290 in a long time. Even at home with my "Eveready" 110v supply.

I actually have seen a station that did have different rates for different charge speeds...

Sadly demand charges don't work that way, so it doesnt really help, as it is the single highest 15 minute period across the whole month... my work we suck down MWhs every month, but the lions of our cost comes from typically some random hot mid-day right around lunch, no matter how many MWhs we actually consume, as the 'fuel" or per kwh billing is like a few cents per kwh directly.

Really that is one reason battery at charging stations makes a lot of sense... if the station can only keep it to, say, 50 kW average pull from the grid, but be able to serve our 350 kW for a good portion of a charge before falling back.... that seriously saves money for the operator. But that requires really understanding your use case. Otherwise if it goes flat, and suddenly going from 50 to 350 kW demand charge..... suddenly that charging session became tens of thousands more expesnive.
