The charge wire has to be big enough to carry amperage. Assuming 100 amps, that's 940 volts.... let's say 1000. Is that about right?
Oh boy, getting out of my knowledge base here but I'll post on the Tesla forum and ask. Like you this stuff interests me. I do know that in my LEAF the max mileage recharge rate is a little better than half of that number. Of course my car was only 30 grand (Canadian currency) brand new as opposed to probably 80 grand for that Tesla. So you get what you pay for. Ours does everything we need it to do and we don't do lots of long trips.
I'll get back to you on the voltage and current thing.
