DCFC

This is a repost of my www.nissanleaf.com blog about quick charging.

ok, thought i would incorporate multiple QC sessions into my day yesterday. was hoping for 3 but only had to do 2 so here goes. 

started out the morning at 191 GID. took a trip to Centrailia DCFC which was 29.9 miles and ended with 106 GID, 5 Batt bars. 

started the charge and time to collect K's

1; 80
2; 90
3; 103
4; 108
5; 125
6; 135 time 10;41 so not too bad. 
ended with 183 GID usually the rate slows down quite a bit when hitting the 65% so i rarely go beyond this point unless i need it. now at 6 heat bars. 

did some more driving around hitting LB at 49 GID. still 6 heat bars 
started at much lower SOC at 46 GID

1; 82
2; 77
3; 73
4; 75
5; 73
6; 74
7; 75
8; 89
9; 100 154 GID; total time 11:58 still only 6 heat bars. 

total travel; 91.3 miles 4.8 miles/k (dash) ending GID count 141


Takeaway here;  I am able to gain 30-35 miles of range in 11 minutes if charging the bottom 2/3rds of the pack. a MUCH better use of my time
