How it's measured
Real charges, straight from the car.
Spec sheets give a peak. These come from the plug: every charge shared by a PlugLog driver, recorded by the car itself.
From the car itself
The PlugLog car app records the charging power and battery level many times a minute, from the car's own readings, for every charge.
Shared on purpose
Charges count only if their driver shares their efficiency and charging data, and then all of them do. No names, no places, no times: just how the EV charged.
Every charger
Fast and slow chargers, hot days and cold ones. The curve keeps about the best seen at each battery level, so it shows what the car can do.
