what does 'delivery charge' vs 'actual charge' mean? what is your total kwh rate?

I wish.

not to compare, but then compare... mmkay.

If I stop to charge, my intention is to “fill up”


your battery is 18kwh. at 100kw charging that's 3 minutes from 0-100. of course reality is slower i'm sure.

6.6 on board charger. I see 7.2-7.3 from my charger at home. Takes little less than 2hrs to go from empty to full.

your rav4 prime doesn't support dc fast charging? i guess maybe no phev does?

as for time to charge, if you have 18kwh battery, and can recharge at 7.2-7.3, that's over 2 hours from empty to full, unless 'full' isn't really all 18kwh because of 'reserve' meaning at "0" your car actually still has some charge?

no DC fast charging. 14.9kwh is usable. The rest is used for hybrid mode. Yes from “empty” to “full” it takes me little less than 2hrs.
