[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 months ago (4 children) 1500kW is a somewhat scary amount of power to think about. Getting close to the power usage of a train. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 14 points 2 months ago (3 children) That's a full charge on an Ioniq 5 in just over 3 minutes. Tho' I'm pretty sure this only works on blade batteries, at least at that speed. Frankly I don't mind a few minutes, 10-20 min. gives me a chance to stretch my legs and move around a bit. It's pretty much a non-issue. Most of the time I charge 'over night' from my home charger. On a road trip, if I head south, or north there's a charger near the battery limit. Nearby is a coffee shop, a thrift store, a park to run around a bit. By the time I'm done goofing off, the car charge is done. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] baggins@beehaw.org 4 points 2 months ago This is the way. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 child) Can it take it though? Are they not limited by firmware and inverter limits. I have used 400v chargers that dont go beyond 80 on my car. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago I5 has an 800v battery, and it can take up to 240 kW. I've never seen rates over 120kW IRL. According to this article: https://electronics.alibaba.com/buyingguides/ioniq-5-charging-speed-guide-real-world-dc-home-rates "Approaches and Differences: DC Fast Charging vs. Level 2 Home Charging There are only two meaningful charging approaches for the IONIQ 5—and they serve fundamentally different needs: 🔹 DC Fast Charging (10–80% Recovery) Pros: Adds 100 miles in ~5.8 minutes 1; supports peak rates up to 235–240 kW 1; compatible with NACS and CCS networks. Considerations: Requires specific infrastructure (not all “fast chargers” deliver >150 kW); long-term battery health benefits from varied charging patterns; fees vary widely by network. When it’s worth caring about: You drive >300 miles/week, take multi-state trips, or lack reliable home charging. When you don’t need to overthink it: You commute under 40 miles/day and charge overnight—DC speed has zero impact on your routine. 🔹 Level 2 Home Charging (Overnight Replenishment) Pros: Predictable, low-cost, grid-friendly; full 84.0-kWh charge in ~7h 20m at 11.5 kW (48A circuit) 2; no subscription or app required. Considerations: Requires 240V circuit installation (cost: $500–$1,200); slower than DC by orders of magnitude; limited by household panel capacity. When it’s worth caring about: You own your home or have landlord approval; you want full control over timing and cost. When you don’t need to overthink it: You rent and rely on public Level 2 (e.g., apartment complex or office chargers)—just confirm the outlet is J1772 and rated ≥32A. " So yeah 1500kW is a tad beyond that. permalink fedilink source parent
