So, perhaps someone smarter than me can understand this. The I-Pace is suppose to:
- Charge from 0-80% in 40 minutes
- Charge 100km in 15 minutes
based on a Fast DC charger capable of 100kW. Now, assuming a WLTP range of 480km, I did some calculations.
if the first statement is true, the I-Pace should be able to charge 144km in 15 minutes. Or 100km in 10-11 minutes. But if the second statement is true, the i-Pace charges from 0-80% in 57-58 minutes.
Also (and I am not an expert on this) I always believed that a 100kW charger is able to charge a battery max. 100kW and hour. I guess even a bit less due to efficiency/heat etc. This means that the maximum that can be charged by a 100kW charger in 40 minutes is 66-67kW. 80% of 90kW is 72kW.
What am I missing here?
