    We just did a 6 week, 10,000 mile road trip in our Hyundai Ioniq 5 from Seattle WA to Key West and we took the long way back. The super fast charging speeds made it seem much more like road tripping an ICE car. Also, there is a certain amount of satisfaction that you get from seeing most of the cars that were there when we pulled into charge still be there when we pulled out. Will I regret all the DC fast charging later? I guess we'll see. I never went above 90% and mostly went to 80%. I would have never attempted such a trip without watching all of your trips to the Arctic Circle. Thanks.

Had the battery checked at service, and Porsche Service Center diagonosed the battery similar to a new car, not beeing able to determine any degradation - whether that is true I dont know - Have not experienced any noticeable loss of range. My charging is mainly at home to max 85%, have never been to 100%. When traveling, I never go below 10% SoC. Fast charging is rare and are using the “eco mode” when charging.. Max temperature I’ve seen is 38 degree celsius after fast charging. Longest session has been 22 mins, going from 15% to 75% SoC..

    The problem is many new cars are leased. People will give them back anyway after 1-3 years so they don't really care what happens with the battery a few years later. It would be nice if the cars would store charging statistics over the whole battery life in order to make it easier to check how the battery was treated.

    The next roll out of fast chargers in New Zealand is 75kW, 150kW and 300kW stations depending on the location and how busy the highway is. So charging these cars on the 150kW stations will be healthier for the batteries anyway. The 300kW stations can charge 3 cars on each machine, so you might only get one car at up to 150kW and two other cars at 75kW.

    Bjørn, I agree with your conclusion that it is good to offer customers the option to charge as fast as possible, and to charge to 100%, when they want or need to. I would like to charge a bit slower most of the time, just like I charge to 80% most of the time. I also would like the fast charge option, just as I like having the 100% option with Tesla. I use 100% for when I want or need to drive 3-4 hours before my first stop on road trips. I would use the fast charge option when I want to make my lunch stop at a restaurant without a fast charging nearby, or when charging stations are crowded.

    The charging peak hype is nuts. With the ranges modern EV have you can easily combine charging with a meal stop. Nothing is more annoying than having to interrupt your meal because the car has finished charging (own experience). The current Model 3 SR+ has the right range and a good charging speed (good as in range charged in time period) because it is so efficient. Many EV manufactures have not understood that efficiency is KING.
    BTW I do regularly 850km trips in an old (330.000km) Model S on 50kW DC chargers (This is inland Australia) and it works for me ok. Tesla has proven to make long lasting batteries....Iet's see how Audi, Porscheeee and Co fare.

      When you do your 850km trips, surely you aren't having meal breaks every time you stop.
      I take trips 1,5-2 times my Ioniq 38s range frequently and the car is usually done before we are. But I haven't done longer trips. If I was doing 850km, I would have to charge 6 times. Maybe half would be eating or long toilet breaks. But I would like to do the other half much quicker than I can now.
      I think a mix of super fast and somewhat slower charges would be perfect. But I guess most people would always take the super fast ones and underestimate their needed break time.

But your Idea of configure a planned charge time is a great idea. But I think the wiggle room between eco and fast is only a couple of minutes, especially when you do not charge more than 80%. I don't think that this makes a lot of difference in practice. Having that feature buried deep in the menus is something I complained about as well towards Porsche.

    Very important questions you are asking. I think one of the answers is actually that many testes (like yourself) are focusing a lot on charging speed. For example the 1000 km challenge is mostly about charging speed (and consumption). This is not meant as criticism, charging speed is very important for many buyers, but it is also important to point out that high charging speed may have a hidden cost in the long run. However, I think this will vary from car to car depending on the battery chemistry and effectiveness of the cooling system. Only time will tell. I'm looking forward to you test of an 250.000 km Taycan in 2027.

    Personally, I think one of the most valuable tools in the Porsche is the battery temp gauge. When you choose a DC fast charge point it gets too hot, wasting energy and you get slower charging. I now try to keep it at about 90 degrees by the time I reach the charger.

    Bjorn, the point of faster charging is extremely important for the psyche of the general public. Especially in established major auto markets such as the USA and Germany among other European countries, as well large countries like Canada, Australia, Brazil, etc. where people have to travel long distances.
    It's of utter importance because the majority of the citizens of those countries, among others, have grown up with the idea of traveling long distances and stopping for a 5 or 10 minutes fill-up and have that built into their conscience. They have no concept of what it is to have your own "gas station" at home. The vast majority of the times people will not need to fast charge except on a few occasions, so batteries will no be affected very much.
    However, they will continue to resist the change over to EV's until they see the assurance of fast chargers everywhere and know that there are many cars that they can buy that can charge nearly as fast as filling their tank. That's a fact of life for human beings. They do not like change. The concept of stopping half and hour to an hour or more is very difficult to overcome. You can tell them, and show them until you're blue in the face and they still won't accept the EV concept.
    If that were the case, then the original Chevrolet EV of the 90's (which GM killed due the pressures from the big US oil giants), and the Nissan leaf of the 2000's would have sold more cars than any other. But they didn't because they took forever to charge and didn't go very far or very fast. It was not until Tesla built fast charging cars and built a fast charging infrastructure that the perception started to change. Had they built the same old slow charging cars they would have failed. Period.
    Besides, the fast charging cars and the infrastructure of fast chargers is meant more for the next generation of batteries such as LFP batteries which will soon take over. Since they last 3 to 4 times longer, so they can be charged at higher speeds more often with very little degradation. However, their weakness is their shorter ranges, so superfast charging is of parallel importance. People would not watch and love your videos as much as they do, or at all, if you would stick to only those 50kw charging cars simply because its so much better for the batteries.
    And if wasn't for fast charging cars and charges, the fossil fuel crowd would never shut up and rub it in the EV owners face and the switch would never happen.
    I hope that helps you and the viewers out there better understand.

      What's even more important than fast charging is efficiency.

    • @Paul-cj1wb
      @Paul-cj1wb 2 года назад

      @@bjornnyland Correct. That's what higher voltage designs are meant to do. With higher voltage, it allows for the amperage to be kept down, so the better it is for the cells, and the more efficient they, and the car, become. Both while charging and while running.
      However, it's very difficult to design cylindrical cells for the higher voltage architectures. It's the main reason why Tesla has not yet gone to it, and why they redesigned their cells to the new 4680 design with all those little tabs. The shorter the electron path, the less the resistance and, therefore, the less heat stress that is placed on the battery, and the higher voltage they can accept; resulting in much more efficient cells -- both while charging and discharging.
      However, the ultimate (for now) in high efficiency are the new axial flux motors which achieve an efficiency of 96% and greater. I can't wait for you to try out the new AMG Mercedes-Benz with axial flux motors in 2 or 3 years.

    It's the temperature that is dangerous.. if 55 is above what the battery chemistry can handle i guess only Porsche knows for now.
    Also worth keeping in mind is that since this is an 800volt system it's only pulling half the amps for the same power of charging as a 400v system at the same power level. A Tesla charging at 250kw is putting a bigger strain on all the components than the Porsche/Audi charging at 270kw. (A bit oversimplified: it's the amps that build up heat)

    • @robertsmart7484

      So then the "marketing stunt" would be the MPH or km/h rate, which would be even more variable - would the manufacturers use the overall average consumption rate, or the recent journey average consumption rate, which could be wildly different.
      The voltage and current of the charge are directly measurable reasonably accurately, which is why they can be displayed. Better displays than on my MG5 multiply volts and amps to show kilowatts, which does give a good indication of the actual charge speed.
      But yes, it would be good if the MPH or km/h rate was also displayed.

      Strongly disagree. WLTP is mostly seen as a joke in the EV world, imagine if the only charging spec was based on WLTP. Every spec on your car would basically be useless.
      I think peak charge rate is mostly a gimmick, but I think the solution is average charge rate from 10-80% instead of range based numbers. You can already calculate this based on the 10-80% charging times and battery capacity. But not many people will do this.
      Peak charge is only useful when knowing which charger to go to.
