I'm sitting at a public EVSE at a visitor centre which is likely a 208v power supply. Truck is reporting 48A being drawn off a Clipper Creek unit, and my truck is showing 9.1kW. Doing the math on that yields voltage of 189v. That seems like a really large voltage drop, over 9%. I've used this charger before with no ill effects, but hadn't noticed the implied voltage. (Side note: I like that my Model 3 report both voltage and amps, then it's really obvious.)
Question: will the onboard charger handle any voltage between about +-10% of the nominal voltage range it claims to work in? (e.g. 120-240v; equaling ~108v to 264v.) Or is there a discrete step range in between 120 and 240 where it doesn't like to function?
