Excited to see these developments. We picked up an EV6 GT-Line recently and love it. Looking forward to what’s on the horizon.
Only thing I hope is that the charge network improves or that Hyundai/Kia partner with Tesla chargers so we don’t get left behind.. which I recognize the barrier is the 800v DC is the holdback. Ironic, given it’s leaps ahead, once the architectures there. I also say this as a staunch anti-Musk.
Either way. Exciting times!
V4 Superchargers, along with tap-to-pay, will apparently have 800V capability. The trick for these 800v architecture companies will be how to mitigate the confusion for consumers about the differences between supercharger versions. Depending on the car, some may not charge at all, or charge slower than what customers expect (and therefore cost much more as well) through the use of a rectifier.
