This is the way to do it for a trip - Charge to 100% at home just before departure, and cap the DCFC charges at 85% max en route (to save time and extra strain on the battery)EV noob chiming in (only had my R1S for a few weeks)...I've been researching this question recently as we are about to embark on our first road trip...
I am going to charge to 100% prior to leaving on any long road trip/journey. We have a battery warranty for a reason and I don't think it's worth leaving a destination with only 70 (or even 80%) charge before a long stretch...
I drive 80-82mph on freeways and I'd have to stop way too soon if I leave with less than 100%
In my experience 30-80% takes less time than 80-100%.Very good point and noted!
I'll get back on the road once hitting 70ish charge after our first EA stop instead of just hanging out waiting to get to 100.
Does anyone know roughly how long it takes (time wise) to get from let's say 70-100 at a supercharger? I know this is depending on kwh at the charger but just rough estimates...
Stays constant for me as L2 doesIf you do it at home to 100%. Watch and see it will slow down when it gets around 70 to 100. Super slow from 90 to 100%. Same as with tesla.
Yeap. Unless you have time to wait, I would stop at 70 to 75 % enough to get home or to the next charger.For this test I went from 74% to 92% in 31 minutes. 74% to 85% went real quick, like 5 min. So next I'll have to test at the same charger from sub-50% to 85%.
