Video Summary
Findings from the review of the electric car charging speeds:The review compares the charging speeds of the Ioniq 6, Model 3, and New ET5, all similarly priced sedans.
The Ioniq 6 is initially taking only 189 kW, compared to 250kW on the Model 3 due to a lower battery temperature (24°C versus 33°C).
After the Ioniq 6 battery reaches 25°C, it charges at 223kW. The Model 3 starts throttling a little bit with charging levels of 127kW.
At 30°C, the Ioniq 6 hits the next battery breakpoint and reaches almost 230kW. The Model 3 starts falling behind significantly.
The Ioniq 6 takes a huge lead and the Model 3 slows down a lot.
NIO batteries were cheating because they did battery swapping. As such NIO was disqualified in the race and test.
The Ioniq 6 was almost at 50% charge while Model 3 has barely hit 50% and the ET5 has not even hit 40%.
At almost 70%, the Ioniq 6 continues to take over 100kW.
After 70% Model 3 was going so slow and not really mentioned.
The Ioniq 6 charging station was at 60%. It was still going 177kWs.
The Model 3 just hit 50% and the EV 5 is barely at 40%.
The test charging of Ioniq 6 had charging losses that measured around 8.5%. Whereas test performed with Model 3 tested charging losses of between 8.2 and 9.2%.
With cold battery starts to the test the Model 3 Y and the Plaid were faster and more dominating than what would of been expected.
With battery heating up. Then later in charging that the Ioniq 6 is to come from behind to take the lead again at charging very fast.
Charging in the cold batteries on initial start it was Model 3 that was heating the batteries and going fast. Model 3 and Plaid are more dominate at cold starts for battery conditions. Ioniq 6 has poor low start charging. Also shows Ioniq 6 has that 5 degree Celsius step.
