Testing procedure:

  • Tire pressure set to manufacturer recommendation

  • Car starts at 10% SoC with battery fully preconditioned

  • Plug in to DCFC, record handshake time between car and charger communication

  • Charge for precisely 15 minutes starting when the contactors click

  • Use climate control while charging to maintain cabin temperature

  • Enter highway, gentle acceleration to 80 mph GPS-verified

  • Climate set to 68-72 (eco mode if possible)

  • Avoid drafting trucks/other vehicles

  • Use ~1/2 of replenished range then turn around

  • Set fast charger as destination to precondition battery

  • Maintain 80 mph until battery SoC moves from 11% to 10%
