Automotive information site releases ranking that summarizes cruising distance and charging speed when charging EV for 1 hour based on unified standards

``The automobile industry does not have a standard for measuring EV battery charging speed, and automobile manufacturers are left with the ability to select and submit data that shows their company the best.'' The automobile information site Edmunds has created a ranking of charging speeds based on unified standards. published.

According to Edmunds, the auto industry doesn't have a standard for measuring charging speed that all manufacturers follow, so while Manufacturer A advertises '10% to 80% in 35 minutes with fast charging,' Manufacturer B He claims that it has a cruising range of 160 miles (approximately 260 km) in just 20 minutes, and it is difficult to tell at a glance which car has better performance.

For this reason, Edmunds has calculated things like ``mileage per charging time'' using unified standards and published it as fair data that can be used as a reference for EV buyers.

According to a survey by Edmunds, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 Limited RWD ranked first in the ranking of ``cruising distance per hour of charging time'', which indicates the overall high charging speed and charging efficiency during quick charging. , it was 868 miles (about 1400 km). The second place Kia EV6 Wind RWD is 769 miles (about 1240 km), and the third place Hyundai IONIQ 6 Limited AWD is 764 miles (about 1230 km), so you can see that it was by far the best. Please note that this number is only a calculated cruising distance, and the actual cruising distance is 343 miles (approximately 552 km) for IONIQ 6 Limited RWD and 323 miles (approximately 520 km) for EV6 Wind RWD.

Below is the data up to 43rd place. The lowest on the list was the Chevrolet Bolt EUV Premier with 172 miles (about 277 km).



In addition, Edmunds shows multiple data in addition to this. For example, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 Limited RWD had the shortest ``charging time to reach a cruising range of 160 miles (approximately 260 km)'' at 6 minutes 54 seconds. This ranking is basically the same as 'cruising distance per hour of charging time.'

In terms of power consumption, Tesla Model 3 was the most energy efficient at 23.9kWh per 100 miles (approximately 160km). The most energy-efficient model was the Rivian R1S Launch Edition (20-inch wheels), which required 47.4 kWh per 100 miles, nearly twice as much energy as Model 3.
