New 500A charging on standard range lightning

[electricpig]

From reports here, both SR.and LR essentially charge at the same rate with this update (still waiting here). This potentially means a greater impact for the SR due to being a smaller battery pack. Since 180kw and 130kw dump a proportionally larger fraction of the capacity of the smaller battery pack. I would love to see a comparison of say 20%-80% (20 or 25% so your start at a higher battery voltage for better initial speed) to see if this is actually the case. Probably not that big a difference, but could matter to some.

Testing out a new local Mercedes network DC charger. Plugged in at 48% and hit 185kW. Most I ever got before on the SR pack (before swapping it for an ER pack) was 167 kW.

FWIW, I've gotten a bit over 178 max on my SR, but usually ~174 max, occasionally lower.

Both SR and ER are limited to 500A but the ER battery is a higher voltage. That accounts for the higher power on the ER pack. You could have actually pulled 8 kW more but something was limiting you to 489 A.

My guess is it started dropping when I hit 50%.
