ADAC tested five EVs for charging losses. One wasted a quarter of the energy
Germany’s ADAC measured charging losses on five EVs and found that a household socket wastes between 12.7% and 24.2% of the electricity drawn. An 11 kW wallbox cut every car’s losses to between 5.1% and 7%. Some of the electricity you buy to charge an electric car never reaches the battery. Germany’s ADAC measured how […] This story continues at The Next Web
The socket should only be an emergency solution for electric cars, where the charging loss is greatest.
At a time when electric car manufacturers bet more and more on fast charging, with BYD charging their batteries in 9 minutes but even with other brands cutting that time; we should not forget that charging an EV at home is much better for your pocket - sleeps between 3 and 4 times less - and does not increase your electricity bill just... since each recharge and depending on your rate, it can cost you between €1.7 and €3.5. But look, because cha…
The German automobile club ADAC has tested in practice how much the electricity bill increases when charging different types of electric cars and using different methods. It turns out that some manufacturers are better at dealing with the losses that inevitably occur during charging than others.
