Charging curve: power the aircraft accepts against state of charge. The dashed line is what a 500 A cabinet can physically deliver into this 800V pack at mid-charge, which is why the curve's peak is unreachable on most CCS hardware.

On a Tesla SuperchargerThis is an 800V pack and a V3 cabinet stops at 500 V, so it cannot be charged directly. The aircraft splits its pack or runs a boost converter and accepts about kW, against 400 kW on a high-voltage cabinet. SeeSupercharger reality.

Worth knowingDesigned around 20–50 mile hops with a ~10 minute recharge between them, which is a duty cycle no road car ever sees.

Pack voltage

Modelled from 620 V at 0% state of charge to 850 V at 100%, so roughly 689–827 V across this session. On a 500 A cabinet that is 345–414 kW of headroom, against a curve that peaks at 400 kW. The cabinet runs out of amps before the pack runs out of appetite.
