      Tom, retail bowser setups have windscreen cleaning equipment and bins available next to ICE cars but I didn't see these at the Ampol in your video. So I scanned hundreds of google's "images" of overseas charging stations and discovered that this is also a trend for dedicated new build BEV charging stations. Are BEV owners a special breed?

    I have an Atto 3 now - proud owner for 2 weeks - and I totally recommend them. My daily commute to work is 15-20 minutes each way (sorry, not sure what it is in kms) and I use 4-5% of the battery. So driving to work and back last week, I went from 100% battery to 76%. It is so efficient and I am loving it!

Strange that the vehicle doesn't show the power draw. Although it would be easy to measure using a simple smart plug and app.

    I'd love it if the max charging speed was higher. The Atto 3 had some major pros: Safety and longevity of the Blade cell battery, range is excellent. Major cons: slow max charging speed of only 80kw, very expensive servicing (most expensive service costs of any other EV available in Australia - and no good reason why).

      What is odd is the Atto 3 is on BYD's latest 800V e-platform 3.0 architecture, yet still has such a slow charging speed. Especially since the Seal, which is on the same platform, charges much faster, up to 150 kW on the big battery. The 61 kWh Seal is rated for 110 kW, so I don't understand why the Atto 3 with the same sized battery is only rated for 80 kW, and can't even sustain the 80 kW speed all the way through.

      Rubbish. You combine charging sessions with the standard meal breaks and waste 0 time at a smelly service station. Modern EV can travel well above 400km on one charge. I do 30000km / a with frequent 900km trips inland NSW / QLD in an EV with now 335000km on the clock regularly. Only issue is the reliability of Tritium brand chargers but hopefully that improves soon. And yes, right now you buy a Tesla as their network is super reliable.

    • @aftonline
      @aftonline 2 года назад +1

      They charge quickest for the first 15 minutes so the best strategy is just to take more frequent, shorter breaks, so for example just add about 30% of charge at a time which is about 110kms or so - just enough time to take a bathroom break, stretch your legs and have a quick snack or drink. Of course, for the first stretch you would be charged to at least 90% from home charging so if you deplete the battery down to about 20% and charge to 50%, your first break would be about 250kms or about 2.5 hours, then every 70 minutes or so thereafter, the idea being to just utilize the higher charging speeds that you get from charging a near-empty battery.

    Have you been able to start charging from these units with the QR code Tom? I was at northmead the other night, I kept getting an error when trying.

      I guess if you're near this charger, *need* a faster charge than 60-70kW and can make it 10 mins down the M2 or Old Windsor Road to Seven Hills, go to the 350kW Evie chargers at Abbott Road instead, they're the same price per kWh.

I guess for the daily commute this is a non-issue. I would prefer to wait for an improved model that has better fast charging, this initial model will likely depreciate too much given this technical limitation.

    The ABB charger that you use to test each EV only output 200 Amp, as shown on the machine label. You will not see the battery charge faster than 90 kw in that charger, unless the battery is based on the 800 volt system.
    Even if the battery can accept more than 90 kw, you will never see it with that 200 Amp charger.
    So it is Not a fair charging test. You should find a charger that output 350 Amp or even better at 500 Amp. To show the true charge capability of the car.

      Is that charger only capable of outputting 117 kW? The EV6 is amongst the fastest charging cars on the market. In the US on a 150 kW EA charger (which is actually provisioned for 175 kW of power), the EV6 or Ioniq 5 will charge at 170 kW flat until it reaches around 70% SOC before starting to taper down. On a 350 kW charger, the EV6 would be able to sustain 220 kW speeds at low SOC. It's odd that you are only getting like 120 kW speeds.

For the price of one 350kW charger you can install 4 75kW charger which can service 8 EV simultaneously. 800V means you can charge in 18 mins. but owners find that it is a useless period of time as you cannot walk away and have a meal or go shopping but have to stay with the car.

    Amazing that a company with 'Petrol' in their company name (Australian Motorists Petrol cOmpany Limited) is now supplying electrons to EVs. Sadly 1/2 of the charger wasted with a chademo connector (those few cars should get a conversion kit / adapter) but great that they use a reliable charger brand. A fail that the ABB does not display the power rating when charging. Kempower brand chargers display a graph of SOC and charge rate vs time on your app, which is what you really want. Looking at the app there is a (future?) feature called Autocharge which is Charge & Pay were the charger 'learns' the car's Id once (the comms chip MAC address) and then authorises the charging process automatically in subsequent sessions. Pricing will be interesting but as you stated the site ticks all the boxes. Even I personally prefer Tesla or traditional brands the onslaught of Asian made EVs will bring the prices down which is great and needed for average income earners to convert to EVs.
