Ioniq5 charges about as fast at 150 kW EA connector as it does with 350 kW connector.
WHO WUDDA THUNK !?!!
See my previous post on this, which quotes the article re pack temperature, and the possibility of an OTA update for pack pre-conditioning. Certainly sounds like it could use it in cooler temps.
You still don't get it. At ideal pack temperatures and at a 350 kW charger the power never goes above ~ 240 kW
because the pack is C-rate limited. 800v packs in personal use EVs are a marketing gimmick for the ignorant. They will only become useful with larger packs, say 150 kWh or greater.
As for cool packs (a different matter entirely), I'm glad to see you have caught a clue. And it only took a couple years !
Bjorn Nyland has caught on too; he has added a cold-gate test to his suite of very useful practical tests he performs on most new EVs.
Hyundai will come up with a kludge but the absence of integration between the car and the charger is going to limit its effectiveness, and I suspect that it will be PTC pack heating.
