Are there any vehicles on the road that can actually charge at 400kW?
- two_handfuls 2y agoGood question. Neither Rivian’s truck nor Cybertruck can.
- metadat 2y agoThe Rivians peak at 220kw.
- atrus 2y agoMaybe not today, but what about tomorrow?
- Animats 2y agoThey're looking ahead to the solid state battery era. Solid state batteries are now real enough that you can buy them at Home Depot.[1] [1] https://www.homedepot.com/p/YOSHINO-Solid-State-Portable-Power-Station-330W-480W-Peak-Push-Button-Start-Battery-Generator-for-Outdoor-Home-Camping-B330-SST/326523527 https://www.homedepot.com/p/YOSHINO-Solid-State-Portable-Pow...
- craz8 2y agoThe chargers they showed at their first Mercedes location in Atlanta are 400kw split between 2 units. So 200kw each for 2 cars that can handle it, and balanced between the 2. Eg if one car only needs 100kw, the other can pull up to 300kw I’ve seen video of the Cybertruck getting more than 330kw, and the Lotus cars seem to charge at high rates too. But 200kw each is a fine charge whilst getting a coffee The question is how reliable they can be - if a charger is broken, it doesn’t matter what the numbers on the label say
- shiftpgdn 2y agoAudi/Porsche EVs can do 350kw at peak, so almost!
- saagarjha 2y agoI don't think those actually hit 350 kW; they generally top out in the 200s even though the plug might say 350 on it.
- peutetre 2y agoThe 2025 model year Porsche Taycans can do 320 kW peak charge rate: https://www.caranddriver.com/porsche/taycan https://www.caranddriver.com/porsche/taycan https://youtu.be/0ZrEhUl5syE?t=2088 https://youtu.be/0ZrEhUl5syE?t=2088
- raihansaputra 2y agohyundai/kia e-GMP platforms have a 350kW rated cars
- wlesieutre 2y agoIt doesn’t, Hyundai just likes to say “when using a 350 kW charger” in their marketing to imply that it does. Their actual peak charge rate is something like 235 kW which is still nothing to sneeze at.
- peutetre 2y agoThe 2024 Zeekr 001 can hit a peak of 546 kW: https://carnewschina.com/2024/04/02/zeekr-001-fastest-charging-ev-in-china/ https://carnewschina.com/2024/04/02/zeekr-001-fastest-chargi...
