Yes indeed, every EV review video will always quote a “20 - 80% charge in xx minutes” but I wonder if they are just using the max kWh charging capacity for that particular car and ignoring the charging curve, i seem to think so.
Plus they are no doubt ignoring the requirements required to achieve max charging ( finding an adequate charger and using it alone ), also the inevitable
charging loss.
As i have only used 120 kWh chargers for the last 3 months and thanks to the app have the relevant information at hand i decided to determine what my average charging speed has been for the last 1,012.62 kw free charging at Rêvershargers.
Now, the 120 kWh charger has given me max speeds of 114 kw when alone or 57 kw when shared on my 150 kw capable Seal.
So, a little calculation using the kw’s and time taken tells me that my average charging speed has worked out at 67.50 kWh.
So, 67.50 kWh is not too shabby when you take into account sometimes i shared the charger and the charging curve but it is a long way from 120 kWh plus my calculations are based on the actual kw delivered by the charger and not the kw received due to charging loss so take a bit off for that !!
But, at least the price is right 😀
