RECALL - say WHAT?

[Shayne]

Try charging at a higher output DCFC charger, for instance, Electrify Canada. It’s very obvious to see the change at 80%. With the old charging curve, the rate drops from about 80 kw to around 11 Kw. With the updated curve you’ll see the drop to only about 45kw which will continue to around 91% or so and then start dropping gradually to 100%.

He is UK. Those mythical chargers are just around Toronto and when they go north of Toronto you fall off the face of the world. With the old curve I was at 7 kw with the new one I am at 43 kw and really no change 20 to 90 from what I see. Pretty obvious if you had the update applied even with the 50 kw chargers.

Edit: 20 to 90% 50KW charger. 42 KW average and pretty linear throughout. Stations says the car is requesting only 43 KW for the entire session so it is still a car thing I think. Hope it does not get any worse with the current recall.

@Tampamike Thanks. I will rely that too.
I am in the UK (dunno why there is no flag with my profile). The charges here display only how long you've been on t he charger, what % your car is at and how much charge has so far been delivered (in kWh). So current rate of charging is not displayed at all. Only the Tesla app give you this info (if you are charging at a Tesla charger)

Ahhhh, my mistake. My brain saw London and thought it was Ontario. My apologies. In any case, that last 10% from 80-90% should be about 4 times faster than it was before when it slowed down, in your case to about 25% of the rate it was charging at. Now it should just stay at 43kw all the way to 90%. What used to take about an hour now should be only 15 minutes.

After the update at the dealer the rate of charging above 80% went to 46kW. Neat!
