    The 58 kWh is the capacity of the battery which is what gives you the range. The 159 kw is the power output of the motor (in this case VC around 231 BHP)

    I think the charging speed of the 58kWh battery is 125kW

    So even if you plug in to a 500kW charger, you’ll get 125kW max .. peak .. on a good day, if the battery is warm.

    I do wish they’d tell people this, it’s important – as long as you’re not paying extra for the more speed though 🙂

    Ooh nerdy charge curve for your car here:

    Source is the Fastned app.

    But don’t let the nerdiness discourage you from the fun pedal!
