Real charging info (charging curve rate) spotted while 718 EV recharging?

That looks pretty terrible, i guess it has a small pack?

It started charging at around 40-50%, and charged until 89%; with a peak charging speed of 162kw and it stayed consistently above 150kw until 85%

That is already a bad scenario for charging and EV, as the Battery won’t be able to achieve peak charging speed by starting at 50%, likely with no preconditioning.

So I wouldn’t speculate too much.

The fact that it can maintain 150 until 85% is indication that the peak is quite a bit higher - I wouldn’t expect worse than j1.1 taycan; likely matching j1.2.

Overall still a bit disappointing, as Chinese cars available in Europe can already deliver 450kw peaks and 200kw at 80%.

Let’s hope an ideal charging scenario (10-85%) would lead to a higher peak and a better curve up to 85%.

EDIT: just noticed that the video is 3 years old, so this is likely the bankrupt northvolt battery.
So even less reason to speculate too much about the numbers.

It delivered 39.39 kw from 40-50% to 89%.

So we can speculate that 39.39kw is 40 to 50% of the battery capacity. So the full battery would be 80-90kw (around the size of j1.1 taycan)

We don’t know if they will offer 2 battery sizes, but I think it’s unlikely

That curve is very disappointing.
