I can do math. Sounds like my 50 KW Tesla III can charge in 10 minutes to 100%. But really isn't the optimal vehicle one of the higher end Teslas and it's more like 80% in 15 minutes or so? What are the real times and numbers? Lawrence Rhodes
A LongRange (~75kwh) 3 at a 150kw charger should charge the from low to about 60-70% at 120-140kw. It slows so much above 80-90% that you don't want to do it. The final few percent will be 2-4kw. A good policy is to move on to the next SuperCharger on your route when the rate drops to ~80kw. That is, assuming the next SuperCharger is within range. Else, you just have to wait out the slower charging.
I haven't used a 250kw charger. I believe that there are still some 120kw chargers out there. "Urban" SuperChargers are only about 75kw.
There is a LOT of variability from SuperCharger to SuperCharger. It is not unusual to find one that will only do 30-40kw even when you are not in conflict with another car at a pair of chargers.
By "my 50 KW Tesla III", did you mean a short/medium range, ~50 kwh battery? I have no experience with such.
