Model S/X 60/70/75: low pack voltage and limits at 50 kW/125 A chargers
Due to the lower pack voltage (84s: nominal ~300–320 V, ~280–300 V at low SoC), power on 125 A DC chargers is limited to ~35–40 kW. This is normal.
How much Belarusian fast chargers really deliver: why “160 kW” turns into 90
The kilowatts printed on the case describe the whole station, while the connector you plug into is limited by current. At a 250 A limit and a Tesla pack voltage around 400 V the physical ceiling is about 100 kW. Measurements from Belarusian roads through 2026, power sharing inside hubs, the Malanka and Forevo tariffs, and when driving on to a more powerful station is worth the detour.
