hey guys just got to the electrify america station with two percent remaining on my
charge three miles left on the gauge we're going to do a relatively warm weather charging
session here 60 degrees here in connecticut which is the warmest it's been in a while warmest since
i've owned the car so we're going to see if we can get up to the advertised 225 kilowatts
so i plug in start charging and you can see speeds increased up to about 120 kw
the battery was at about equilibrium with the exterior temperature at about 60 degrees
and immediately we see the heating system start coming up
trying to warm the battery so we can get to those advertised charging speeds that we all want to see
125 kw is about what i would see on a cold day
as my maximum charging speed and here that is our starting charging speed
and now you can see we shot up to 200 kw once the battery hit about 75 degrees maximum temperature
at about twenty percent state of charge
after a little more than 10 minutes we shoot up to the number we all want to see which is 230 kw
batteries at about an average of 80 degrees fahrenheit
it's incredible to see the battery pulling 230
even at 50 percent state of charge that is just mind-boggling
you can see the heater temperature has ramped down because now that we're putting all that
current into the battery it's pretty much warming itself up you can see it just hit 100 degrees
so we're about 16 and a half minutes in just about to hit 60 percent
charging speed has dropped down to about 130 and there's that 18 minute
mark that we've been told by hyundai we should be able to achieve 80 percent
obviously the outdoor temperature today wasn't good enough to get us there
and now here we see the battery charging speed come back up to about 160 kw i was
not expecting that i was expecting just a continuous ramp down to about 100 kw
so after 24 minutes we hit our 80 mark which is still nothing to scoff at it still gives me uh 80
charge with my 30 minute charging session which in freezing temperatures i wasn't able to do so my 10
to 80 time was about 20 and a half minutes which is two and a half minutes longer than advertised
so i'm hoping in warmer temperature i'll be able to achieve that so all in all i'm pretty
happy with this charging session obviously i would have liked to have seen that 18 minute to 80 but
weather is uh pretty critical when it comes to charging an electric car
if you're not at 75 degrees i don't think you're gonna get it immediately but hopefully that'll
be remedied with the upcoming software update that'll allow us to set charging destinations
and it'll pre-condition the battery so i hope you guys like this video if you liked watching
