“Then the car ... shows the ... nearest supercharging station”

Wowee! It tells you the nearest place where you’ll spend the next 4 or so hours.

“supercharging” - a little hype in there, huh?

Hate is an ugly thing.

The 220 vt home version will charge the car in 3 to 4 hours. Meanwhile, superchargers:
L3 chargers adjust their power levels based on temperature, battery capacity, battery state of charge, and other factors to protect the battery. L3 chargers provide peak power when the battery is warm and nearly empty. Charging at L3 rates is an intricate dance between the electrical grid, car, and charger.

As a general rule of thumb about how long it takes to charge on a Supercharger, think of it like this:

- 20–30 minutes to go from 20% battery remaining to 80% full.
- 60 minutes to go from 20% battery remaining to 95%.
- 90 minutes to go from 20% battery remaining to 100%.
