A recent study by the car market aggregation and analysis website Edmunds has found that electric cars from the Hyundai – Kia conglomerate have faster maximum charging speeds than their competitors.
Edmunds analyzed 43 electric car models in the US market and measured their charging capability by dividing the charging power (kW) by the energy consumption rate (kWh/100 miles), then multiplying by 100 to give the result in miles per hour.
The results show that the Hyundai Ioniq 6 Limited RWD is the fastest charging model with a speed of 1,397 km/hour.
Out of the top 10 models with the fastest charging speed, 6 are from the Hyundai – Kia conglomerate. These include the Kia EV6 RWD with a speed of 1,238 km/hour (ranked 2nd); Hyundai Ioniq 6 AWD with a speed of 1,230 km/hour (ranked 3rd); Kia EV6 GT Line with a speed of 1,091 km/hour (ranked 5th); Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD with a speed of 1,083 km/hour (ranked 6th); and Genesis Electrified G80 with a speed of 853 km/hour (ranked 8th).
The reason for Hyundai – Kia’s cars having better charging speeds is because their electric vehicles are equipped with both 400V and 800V charging hardware. Many other electric car models only use 400V charging to save costs and reduce selling prices, making it easier for customers to afford.
Other models in the top 10 also have fast charging speeds, including the Porsche Taycan 4S with a speed of 1,110 km/hour (ranked 4th); Porsche Taycan GTS with a speed of 940 km/hour (ranked 9th); Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ with a speed of 954 km/hour (ranked 7th); and Tesla Model 3 ranked 10th with a speed of 912 km/hour.
