I have a question about the battery capacity and kWh consumed. Fair warning ...... it is a noob question so it may provide a chuckle for some of those who know about this.
I wanted to try out the DC fast charging so I headed over to a charger nearby with 18% juice left in the battery (2014 S). I "pumped" almost 11kWh into the battery which brought the battery up to 85% in about 43 minutes.
So did it take 11 kWh to charge 67% (85%-18%) of a 24kWh battery? It was my assumption that 11kWh input would be equivalent to what battery would gain but it seems it gained 16kWh. What am I missing :?:
