The Lotus Emeya electric car has been declared the fastest charging electric car, able to charge its 102 kWh battery from 10 to 80 percent in just 14 minutes. Connected to a 400 kW DC charger, the four-door sedan registers a peak charge rate of 402 kW and an average charge rate of 331 kW.
In addition to Lotus, P3 tests include XPeng G9 RWD Long Range, Kia EV9 RWD, Hyundai Ioniq 6 RWD, Nio ET5 Touring Long Range, Mercedes EQS 450+, Genesis G80 Electrified, BMW i7 eDrive50, Tesla Model Y RWD Long Range and BYD Atto 3.
P3's graph shows that BYD's EVs are the furthest from the record holder and fail to come close to Emeya's peak charging speed. Only the XPeng G9 electric car comes close with a peak power of 320 kW.
Judging from the graph, different cars have very different charging curves, which depend on the efficiency of the cooling system and the temperature rise of the battery.
Yes, the fast-starting XPeng lags all but the sluggish BYD Atto 3 by half, turning its 320kW peak speed into a 233kW average, although speed recovers as the battery nears 80 percent charge.
Lotus Emeya, in addition to record-breaking charging speed, also offers innovative design and advanced technology, making it an attractive choice for today's consumers.
Impressive performance and charging efficiency put Emeya at the top of the electric car market when it comes to charging speed at a fast charging station.
