During the Tesla Model S Plaid launch event, Elon Musk , speaking of charging, had simply stated that from a Supercharger V3 , the car was able to recover about 300 km of range in 15 minutes. Certainly interesting but incomplete information given that without knowing the actual charge curve it is not possible to It is possible to really judge the skills; power supply of an electric car. With the first models of the Plaid arrived in people's hands & egrave; it is finally possible to discover some more details precisely on this aspect.

CHARGING CURVE OF MODEL S PLAID

MotorTrend was able to carry out an energy supply test with a brand new Tesla Model S Plaid to verify the real charging curve . The data obtained are very interesting. The proof is; was made at an ambient temperature of just over 21 degrees and after having preconditioned the battery pack to have maximum performance. In this scenario, it took 51 minutes to go from 5 to 95% of the capacity; accumulator (87 kWh supplied in total).

Speaking strictly from the charging curve, at around 10% of the capacity; battery, yes & egrave; reached the maximum peak of 250 kW which is; was maintained up to approximately 31-32% of the capacity. After that, the charging power started to drop pretty quickly. At 50% it was about 140 kW, 60% about 110 kW, 70% about 88 kW and 80% about 60 kW. Curve summarized in the graph created by MotorTrend.


To exploit the maximum capacity charging at a superfast station & egrave; therefore it is advisable to arrive with an almost discharged battery. Making very long journeys with the new American electric sedan, as long as you can supply energy at a high-power direct current point, is not; a problem. In only 18 minutes , as evidenced in the test, it goes from from 5% to 60% equal to approximately 163-178 miles (262-286 km) of additional distance. A result that substantially confirms the estimate given by Elon Musk during the car launch event. MotorTrend, by carrying out several tests, was able to verify that the average autonomy of the car is; about 318 miles (511 km).
