That's an "estimated" range, under the best of conditions. And, where do you find 800 volt charging stations?

I think in Canada the only 800 volt providers are Petro-Canada and Electrify Canada. An 800 volt vehicle will charge fine off a 400 volt charger but somewhat slower…maybe 20 percent slower. (Its not linear). I have no personal experience with 800 volt systems but one of our neighbours has an 800 volt Hyundai. It charges marginally faster than our Tesla but it’s also a slightly smaller battery so not sure what the final tally would be. We have charged on Petro Canada 800 volt machines a few times with our Tesla but it switches to 400 volts as soon as it sees that it’s a Tesla and a 400 volt car. It’s all interchangeable and the car communicates what it wants from the charger.

Hope that helps. Not an expert.
