That’s exactly why it’s charging at a slow speed you came in with too much juice in that vehicle. I’d love to see you do it where you’re only at 50 miles left of charge. My model S does the same thing if I go in there with let’s say., 110 miles left on the charge. When I go in there with less than 20 miles left on the battery it will go to 107 kW of charging.
I was just seeing if it would work. Blazer EV gets really slow after 80% and even starts to slow after 50%. I’d like to see how it does having such a low voltage battery. 150 kw chargers don’t usually max out because their amps are only
@@danno180 correct, the lower the charge when you come in to a station to charge the higher it will go to to charge the vehicle. I drive a 2019, model S 75D. The lowest I’ve ever driven into a station was 13 miles left on the charge. It started out at 50, then 60, then it climbed to 109. As it starts charging and doing its thing.. after a while it starts to decrease the amount of voltage charging the battery . So the Fuller, the battery becomes., the charging starts to slow. I’ve actually sat and watched it. Go all the way to. 2 kw. Something like 90 minutes. From 100 all the way down to. 2. I am at 228,090 miles. Now with that said.. something very important. I’ve learned charging this car.. not all charging stations are created equal. I’ve actually had where in under 50 minutes I got a 200 mile charge. Other Tesla owners have had this experience. And as it goes, none of us can get it to duplicate that time frame and that charged capacity. But I do know from other drivers. That if you are low on charge and you plug-in and after let’s say five minutes, it’s not charging at peak. You disconnect and move to a different charging station. I learned that from a guy who I pulled up next to who was charging. He got out of his car and said hey let me know what your car is charging at. I was under 80 miles I think so I plugged in stood there a moment and said to them. It’s charging at 32 kW. He said yeah that stations having an issue you should move and see what it does and I did since I was new to. The electric car.. and he was right. I moved two stations over plugged in and the car all of a sudden was charging at 90 kW.. and he started telling me some they act up. so just keep that in mind with Tesla charging stations. I don’t know nothing about any other station as I’ve only ever charged at home or at a charging station from Tesla. But one thing I do know for sure not charging stations are created equal..
Are you able to plan trips using the supercharger with the blazer google maps? My blazer google maps still say the my car is not compatible and won’t direct me to use the supercharger network on long trips
@@randypersaud477 yes, it tells you some of the stops require a NACS adapter. You need to select which superchargers your Google maps will consider when planning routes/trips including Tesla Superchargers.
@@joesmith9483 I have a Tesla charging membership for $12/mo. With that, the rate was $.38/kWh. Without the membership, it was about $.12 more but I think it changes depending on time of day and location
Live long and prosper 🖖🏾
How long did it take?
I despise the open door tone GM and Ford vehicles play lol
Either way I’m glad to see other cars have access to Tesla’s network now 👍🏻

what was the cost ??
