    The new ionity chargers are pretty quick at 1200km per hour which is 20km per minute which is 200km in 10 mins.

    I don't think so. The Ionity Cashel and Ionity Gorey by the time the first cars ship will be completed, I think, but so far they are limited to 175 kW only which is about 25 kWh charged in 10 minutes and that won't quite get you 200 km at motorway speeds. Maybe up to 150 km per 10 minutes?

    Wouldn't be suprised if some of the Tesla chargers got updated from 120 kW between now and September.

    Can the car continuously charge at that rate ?

    I think most electric cars never do continuously do it at any rates.
    They start off small and increase and then start slowing down after a certain input.
    So that's why they say you should stop at 90% as it will take longer for the last 10%.

    Not yet. Tesla superchargers will be updated to V3, so you can charge a current Model 3 at 250kW (max)

    This means a charge of the LR model from 20%-80% in about 10 minutes for a 250km motorway range at 120km/h

    With the current superchargers you'll get 200km motorway range in about 20 minutes.

    With the current Ionity CCS charger in Ireland, you'll get 200km motorway speed in about 15 minutes

    Both still not too shabby :)

    Model 3 recently got an update to charge at up to 200 kW. One of the people over on the UK Model 3 Facebook group charged their Model 3 at an Ionity charger and got 191 kW.

    The question was in Ireland though where the Ionity chargers are 175 kW max and do just over 150 kW max on Model 3 based on the graph above. Which for a L40 driver like myself feels totally out of this world.

    All Ionity chargers are 350kW, but only the ones with the liquid cooling in the cables are enabled for that. Not sure if the Irish ones already have these cables. If not, they are limited to 175kW

    The UK ones have been enabled for 350kW (CCS2), I would presume the ones here are too

    Currently trying a Tesla wall connector at a hotel in a non-Tesla car and the charge session won’t start.

    The hotel has 3 wall connectors and two of them are signed as Tesla only and the one I’m trying is supposed to work on any Type 2 car but the charge session won’t start.

    I do have one green light on the wall connector. Have also tried the reset button on the wall connector and it did its reboot but no change.

    Is there is any magic to getting a Tesla wall connector to work on a non Tesla car?

    Nope I charged my Ioniq at Sneem Hotel destination chargers, drove up plugged in and got a charge.

    They default to Tesla only. An internal switch can turn them to any car. Nothing you can do about it short of opening the charger and "fixing it" :p

    Perhaps the installer never changed this. Might help if you mention the hotel, some others might have stayed there and tried.

    If no luck, did you bring granny charger and long extension lead? :D

    Is the button on the cable/connector just for Tesla’s to open the charge port door and not relevant to other cars?

    They tell me other non Tesla’s have used it and they have the 3 of them clearly labelled with two of them Tesla only and the 3rd one for the commoners! ;)

    Have the granny cable. They’ve offered an extension lead but I need a specific car space to free up to be able to use it. That’s Plan B if there is no other wisdom here!

    Thanks.

    In case of my Ioniq it would take couple minutes after plugging in to start charging on those chargers.

    Why? I plugged in and got a charge straight away at Sneem Tesla destination chargers.

    I wonder why as well, as all other chargers public and private would start charging immediately after plugging in.

    I'm normally not bothered by any "Big Brother" theories, but that is a bit scary!

    Premium goes up if you do a few more than average ludicrous starts, drive a bit more than average over the speed limit? Tesla know everything about you.

    Over here little boy...... would you like a sweetie?........

    The insurance companies here are already encouraging drivers to install boxes in their cars that monitor accelerations, with the carrot of lower premiums. The days of spirited but safe driving are numbered for us all.

    Has anyone looked at the CCS charger adapter/retrofit yet? With Ionity doing well, I'm considering it.
    I have an earlier 2019 car, so should have the hardware required, and just need the adapter.

    Someone said on the facebook group they had it, were charging at Ionity. Apparently you get a ranger out to do it for you, there's a hardware change for all non raven models (if you have an earlier 2019 car you'll need the hw change).

    You bought from Tesla Ireland? How much on the road if you don't mind me asking? Autopilot 1 I presume?
