Tesla paid some lobbyist to get a recent interpretation on the NEVI rules that funds any charger capable of putting out any single voltage between 250V and 920V not all voltages between 250V and 920V. Under this interpretation, a charger that supplied 260V, that would not even charge a Tesla...
Keep in mind the cell chemistry is a second order affect on DC fast charging speed. The biggest impact comes from thermal capacity of the battery cooling. The reason the new Taycan's charge quickly into high SOC is they have a 20kW cooling system. The current Air lineup has a 10kW medium power...
The Rivian design is excellent and matches their intended use very well. The interior design is well thought out and the materials again match their intended use. I love the Rivian design. However, the battery and drivetrain technology is nothing special. It charges slow because of poor battery...
I would not be surprised to see the heat pump in the Touring and Pure for 2025. Lucid is demonstrating that improvements developed for new vehicles will eventually be added into the existing models.
Drive it to a low SOC and then charge to a high SOC so the BMS sees the full battery voltage range. I do not know if Lucid does some BMS calibration based on voltage over a broad SOC but many products do.
Or does it mean that the chargers are currently capable of 300kW but only support 200kW into the current Rivian vehicles due to the 400V architecture. This interpretation also implies that Rivian will move to a 800V architecture in the future. Does anyone have a picture of the cabinets behind...
I am not sure how much control EA has in real time but they do throttle the charging speeds at times. Other factors such a load at the site, thermal limit on charger or cable can also limit charging speed.
