For 240v charging, the owner’s manual states “Maximum rated input 32A” and “Maximum power consumption 7.7kVA”. In my experience, 28A and 6.7kW is the highest I’ve seen my EVSE record.
I fount a forum post from 2014 where someone mentioned 7.7 from the owner’s manual, but there was no further discussion or explanation. Evspecifications.com reports the number as 7.4, but says the onboard charger limits this to 6.6.
Does anyone have more detailed information (not speculation) on this?
Is the owner’s manual wrong, or can I somehow charge at 7.7kW (or 7.4)?
Is the 300 watt discrepancy between the owner’s manual and evspecifications explained by the 300 watts needed to run the battery heater during charging at cold temps?
