    Thanks @Abercol, the charging curve can make a huge difference and is something else to “nerd” about when choosing the right car.

    There’s also the voltage system of the battery, the bigger the number, the quicker it charges.  The Ioniq 5 is one of a few cars fitted with an 800v battery.  That means that instead of feeling smug about 150kw charging it can power through at 350kw, performing its 20-80% sprint in 20 minutes assuming you can find a charger capable of keeping up.

    This only really matters at the point of choosing, living with your car, it charges in the time it takes to charge, you just adjust your plans accordingly.
