TTS with the 21” wheels. About 230 at 100%. Actual depletion varies with driving vigor, so real world I get closer to 180.

I use a lot of 350kW stations at EA, and they almost never deliver more than 160-175 effective.

VW was forced into EA from Dieselgate. If they gave a shit about it, it wouldn’t suck this much. As best as I can EA exist only to siphon government funding and court settlements.

agreed. I did NOT have this Ford / GM switch on my bingo card

This is a stupid argument. It’s like a few weeks of engineering work. EVs offer their customers charging schedules based on the cheapest rates, as published by their local utilities. People plug their cars in whenever they can, and the cars draw current based the calculation of the least cost...

Ymmv i guess. I’ve never gotten more than about 170kw from a 350kw EA charger. Usually it’s 120-140, just like the 150kw chargers. I really suspect they are throttling. There’s been no difference between the 350 and 150 chargers for the last 6 months or so. And Tesla superchargers are...

@daveo4EV is that second link correct ? It’s the same as the first …

My experience with EA has been Vastly better than @daveo4EV but it’s still pretty ugly compared to supercharging. At one of the most premier EA sites in California, 25% of the stalls are regularly broken. The 350Kw stalls never charge faster than the 150kw ones. Usually a mini or 7kw hybrid...

Is it time to update the Roadwarrior threads with new recommendations @daveo4EV ? What are folks favorite alternative EVSE these days ? Mustart’s? The Tesla one’s appear perpetually sold out. Ironically, I’ve literally never used Porsche’s evse. EA and charging at work, and teslatap. I...

it is comically bad. How do they not even know about chargers that have failed to complete a transaction recently and report in ?

The article is bullshit but carefully stirs in some unpleasant truths to mask this. The v12 battery issue was pretty lame and severe, but it was also properly reported to NHTSA and other regulatory bodies. There is literally zero evidence Porsche is fraudulently hiding defects from authorities...

the manufacturers aren‘t super forthcoming so most of the data we have is from independent researchers and cooperative owners like the above graphs. Some references to their sources here https://electrek.co/2018/04/14/tesla-battery-degradation-data/ but there have been a lot of long running...

The long term study of model S owners found charging with DC fast chargers caused considerably more degradation than your standard at home charging. Fast chargers are not an every time kind of food. also, keep the battery within the 20-80% range as much as feasible. Being outside that range...

i mean cables have operating systems and cpus now too ...

This seems like one of the options people might care, rightly or wrongly, about for resale even if it’s not a huge benefit.

This story is bullshit. It’s sourced from a single no name guy based on what he thinks his dealer might have used as an excuse for his production delay. it’s possible there are some software tweaks, but those wouldn’t delay production. They’d be done at the dealer worst case.

Cookies aren’t an every time food.

it’s not bad, but it is slightly harder on the battery than more gradual ac charging. if you only ever do high speed rapid charging, which would be weird but some Tesla folks have done it For Science! (kidding, no idea why) then the battery will age faster. But we’re talking about effects that...

agreed. Given they recommend charging parameters basically like a Tesla (20-80% is ideal, not too low, not too high) I think it’s a mistake to assume the reserved capacity is simply a top buffer, or behaves in some linear way as unused capacity. We don’t know how it’s being used, and we don‘t...

I hit 98Kw / 100km on my test drive. Lol.
