Average speed matters most, but peak speed is important too, since you do not always want to charge to 80%. Sometimes you just need enough to get home.
Agreed. Both are important, just different ways of solving the problem. If ID.4 can change the peak speed, I'd assume the same could be true for the Volvo(?)
Thanks for your video, If you got time could you look at the average charger speed on most city ? I live in Geneva Switzerland and when looking at charger, most of them are 7.2 to 22kw so for someone like without a way to charge at home or work it just means it's very unpracticle to own an electric car. I am wondering if Geneva or Switzerland is late to the party of fast charger or if it's the case of most European city.
Kris, du bør gjøre en ny test og sørge for at batteriet er skikkelig varmt. Har en 2023-modell og lader alltid med 110-154kw fra 0-ca 70 % selv om det er -24 grader ute. Tørst bil, men skikkelig ladekonge🙂
Guess that depends? if it's 50-60 then it will take significantly less time on a 150kW. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend relying solely on 150kW chargers anyway. Use them for quick top-ups if you're in a hurry, if you have time/choice a slower charger will do just fine (like you said).

Plug it in at home and you are set vs. pumping carbon from the ground where you first have to install puppet government, kill all the wildlife and move people, ferry it to a refinery, lorry it to a gas station where you have to buy it at a huge cost to pollute the world. Hmm, I choose electric.
@@piomiocarlsson580 You have been misled by politicians, who’ve invested millions in renewables for their own profit, and the media. What mining operations of rare earth elements to make batteries does to harm the environment in itself causes more damage than fossil fuels. Then when the batteries are depleted disposing the hazardous waste does more damage. Then there’s the ever growing demand on the electric grid. More has to be generated increases demand on fossil fuel power plants and more have to be built. And don’t give me that “renewables” garbage. They can’t keep up with demand. Nuclear is the only viable energy source with no carbon emissions but who is building them besides China? Also what about people who live in apartments. Do they run extension cords out their windows? Battery EVs are are not the solution they just make people feel better.
@@Crazyuncle1 Relax. Why does it have to be one or the other? Battery EVs aren't THE solution, but they can be part of the solution. We have an ICE and a PHEV. Probably going to switch the PHEV to a BEV soon. Electrics are fun to drive, and if you own your own home and/or live in a denser part of the country, like DC to Boston, 200mi range is plenty. Our PHEV has 20mi range and 80% of the miles have been electric. If you live in an apartment, or in Wyoming, not so great (though I know of apartment complexes building charging stations). Similar with renewables. Germany produces about 1/2 of their power from renewables. The bulk of that is from wind, but there's some solar, some hydro, some biomass. They also still have coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, which they are gradually reducing as they work things out over time and determine an efficient and effective mix. I don't see why the fact that ONE option can't solve 100% of the problem right away means you should do nothing at all.
@Crazyuncle have you seen the lines at Costco gas station? It takes 10-15 minutes just to get to the pump. Besides, if it takes 35-40 minutes to recharge then you fit your Costco or grocery shopping trip into the charging session. Lastly, if you're on a road trip no one stops for 5 minutes to refuel. Dwell time at gas stations is ~10 minutes and if you're traveling with kids it's even longer.
