Calculate charging from a level2

[Christy Crenshaw]

I am taking a trip from Louisville Ky to Branson Mo.  I would like to take the southern route that the software gives me.  With this I am being told to drive 55mph from Louisville to the next supercharger location.  I ha e found on the Tesla site a level 2 charger at holiday world.  I would like to include a stop here and charge for a little while how can I add in the charginf=g time that I would spend here to see if I can drive faster after charging there and still make it to the next super charger?

Add a waypoint for Holiday World.  Then click on the gear icon next to this stop and specify the wattage of the charger (6kW for Level 2 ?) and how many hours you plan to charge for.  Then recalculate. See attached screenshot.

I looked at this route and for my car and settings, it said I had to drive below 70 MPH that first leg.  But when I reduced my setting for "Charger arrival SoC" from 15% to 5%, I no longer was given a speed limit.  You can try lowering this setting and maybe avoid the stop at the L2 charger altogether, assuming your are comfortable pulling your state of charge a little lower (I am).

Awesome. I'm diving in then!
