The P3 Group is a German consulting agency that employs those that, like most consulting companies, appear to have an excessive amount of time on their palms, on this case sufficient time to create a report that measures cost instances within the U.S. for widespread EV fashions after simply 20 minutes, or greater than the typical American spends at a gasoline station for a replenish however lower than the quantity that Individuals think about EVs want for a major recharge. Lucid’s Air Grand Touring, which was in a position to rise up 208 miles of vary after 20 minutes, was the mannequin on high.

Automotive Information summarizes:

The six-figure Lucid Air Grand Touring may be their greatest wager. It achieves essentially the most vary throughout a 20-minute charging session, based on a brand new report from consulting agency P3 Group. It bought 208 miles in 20 minutes, the highest charging metric among the many 13 EVs analyzed within the report.

With a price ticket of $139,650 together with vacation spot charges, prospects are getting what they pay for. Tesla’s Mannequin S Plaid ranked second within the examine, and the Kia EV6 LR RWD completed third. The EV6 charged 191 miles — solely 17 miles from the highest spot — in 20 minutes. At $43,920, it prices almost $100,000 much less.

[…]

Tesla dominated the remainder of the highest 5, with its Mannequin 3 LR AWD at No. 4 and the Mannequin Y LR AWD at No. 5.

Costs for the Tesla fashions spanned from $48,630 to $109,880 with ranges of 330 to 396 miles. The general vary of the Lucid Air GT is an EPA-estimated 516 miles and the EV6 is estimated at 310 miles on a full cost.

A lot of Tesla’s success within the report is attributed to its Supercharger community, superior to the opposite charging choices in America, as Electrify America’s charging community is much less good. On the underside finish, the Ford F-150 Lightning charged to only 109 miles of vary in 20 minutes, based on P3 Group, the Mustang Mach-E bought 110 miles, and the Rivian R1T bought 124 miles.

The EV vans there aren’t so shocking, provided that their aerodynamics are dangerous and the Lucid Air’s are fairly good, as are Teslas’. P3 Group additionally mentioned that battery structure was an element.

The Lucid Air GT ranks highest with a P3CI – US of 1.04 and is the one car with an index better than 1.0. Its high rank will be attributed to excessive charging energy and low consumption. The Tesla Mannequin S Plaid achieves an index of 0.97 and the KIA – EV6 LR RWD of 0.96 within the first P3 Charging Index – US, inserting them 2nd and third. Though two of the main three automobiles are luxurious automobiles, the KIA proves that non-luxury automobiles are able to lengthy ranges. 4 of the highest 5 automobiles are US fashions.

Evaluating the P3CI – US ranking to the car information of the electrical autos demonstrates that the long-distance suitability of electrical autos is dependent upon a number of elements. A kind of is the 800 V structure which permits greater charging energy, though this solely positively impacts long-distance suitability together with low consumption. The Porsche Taycan GTS featured an 800 V structure and was in a position to preserve excellent charging energy till near 46% SoC; nonetheless, due to its excessive consumption, solely ranks sixth total. Regardless of their decrease 400 V structure and common charging energy, all three Tesla fashions rank greater on account of their low consumption. The figuring out elements for the low rating of the underside 5 automobiles are attributed to low common charging energy (VW ID.4 Professional, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Polestar 2 LR Single Motor) or excessive consumption (Rivian R1T and Ford F-150 Lightning).

None of this, then, tells you something that you could’t already sense intuitively, although, it does additionally add some coloration to GM and Ford’s selections to go Supercharger. Lucid, in the meantime, is caught in a well-recognized place, with a product that will get excessive marks however with not the appropriate consideration, on this case a report from a consulting agency referred to as P3 Group.
