Warning, this is a positive post!
Yesterday, I was embarrassed by my Porsche Taycan.
We were on our way home from Scotland yesterday and stopped at Ionity Gretna Green. There were two Mercedes-Benz EQCs there already. The screen of the charger said one EQC had downloaded 10 kWh in 20 minutes. He took a look at my screen and it showed my car had downloaded 59 kWh in 18 minutes. He could not believe it.
There was also a Model 3 charging at the Ionity chargers. He had chosen to pay 69p a kWh because the Tesla Superchargers round the corner at Gretna Green were full. His car was doing better than the EQC but he was managing only half my charge rate.
I charged from 15 - 90% in 27 minutes at Gretna. During the course of my 615 mile journey, I stopped twice more. In all, I spent an hour less charging than my Tesla MSP100D doing the same journey. On a 12 hour journey, that's significant.
Gentleman, currently, we own the fastest charging cars in the World. They are simply stunning.
