This is neat and all, but in my experience in the northeast, the bottleneck isn't the car, it's the fast charger itself.
I've done EA, EvGo, and sometimes ChargePoint with one of the cars in the upper half of this list. I never see the 250 or 350kW fast chargers go above 120-160.
The bottleneck isn't the car, it's the charger network. I'd like to see them test the various networks at different times of day with different occupancy rates and tell people what they would really expect.
- pornel 3y agoFor eGMP cars the temperature makes a lot of difference. I regularly hit the advertised 18 minutes/230kW charging when it’s >20C outside, but in colder weather it’s stuck at 80kW until it the battery heats up.
