Your Hyundai charges at 500 kW?
- verdverm 1y agoThere's more to charging than peak kW, notably sustained throughput The amount of range you can put into the EV, per unit of time, is a better metric. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-charging.html https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/electric-car-charging.html Hyundai has been on the 800V arch for a while with their E-GMP platform, Tesla's first entry is the 25th spot.
- Sohcahtoa82 1y agoHuh...that is interesting. TIL. I wonder why the Tesla is not able to maintain the high charging rate? Both peak at about the same kW.
- dboreham 1y agoI don't think that's true. Afaik Tesla (except Cybertruck) have 400V charging limited to 250kW while the other vehicles have 800V charging allowing 350kW or so.
- bmicraft 1y agoMaybe the car is more efficient and it's twice the rate in "driveable distance-charged" per unit of time?
