Right here is an fascinating check of an already retired electrical automobile mannequin – the 2019 Hyundai IONIQ Electrical with a 28 kWh battery (presently it is provided with 38 kWh).
Two years in the past, this mannequin handed Bjørn Nyland’s 1,000 km problem in 12 hours and quarter-hour, whereas the brand new model with a 38 kWh battery required 14 hours and 20 minutes as a result of its very restricted charging energy (greater vary helps solely to start with), though in colder climate.
Anyway, at this time we are able to check out the brand new check of the two-year-old automobile in optimum situations temperature- and traffic-wise.
The brand new result’s 11 hours and 55 minutes, a full 20 minutes higher than earlier than in an analogous situation, partially due to the next variety of fast-charging stations and better energy output.
This result’s excellent contemplating the battery measurement and the automobile mainly matches the Audi e-tron 50, and exceeds a number of automobiles with a lot larger battery packs, like Jaguar I-PACE, Volvo XC40 Recharge, Nissan LEAF (62 kWh), Hyundai IONIQ Electrical (38 kWh) to call only a few.
The important thing factor that permits going under 12 hours may be very excessive effectivity of the automobile (much like the Tesla Mannequin 3) and excessive charging energy in relation to its battery capability.
Usually, the charging energy exceeds 60 kW (in a 28 kWh air-cooled battery), nonetheless, as soon as the temperature reaches 50°C, the facility output is proscribed. That is what prevented Bjørn Nyland from an excellent higher outcome.
One other factor is that round 5% State of Cost (SOC), the automobile likes to enter turtle mode with restricted energy.
Due to the small battery and restricted vary, Bjørn Nyland was pressured to cost 9 instances (it could possibly be eight if he would’ve charged a bit of bit longer on the eight cease).
Anyway, the Hyundai IONIQ Electrical (28 kWh) is a benchmark for all-electric automobiles with a small battery pack.
