I did a 6500 mile ev road trip and battery capacity means next to nothing. All that matters is the charging curve between 3% and 60%. Literally all other variables disappear over a road trip.


Nice tip. Are there lots of cars with shittier ranges but sota 3-60% charging curves? What is your acceptable target number for this metric?


The P3 Charging Index attempts to quantify this, and also documents progress over the years as they've been publishing it for 6 years now:

Porsche Kia Hyundai are currently top of the list

The e-GMP cars (Hyundai Ioniqs, Kia EV6) can do it in 13 minutes or so under ideal conditions. They have decent range but not top of the line.
