Polestar 4 LR DM charging test

[@ansgarfinn500]

the ID.7 is the winner in my opinion

[@ahsannasir6214]

Thanks for the test, Not sure how valid the test is; VW ID7 is a 77kwh battery, i mean it's expected to charge faster. I liked that you have Tesla model S here and you can see, their curves aren't so different from each other.

3:42 - What? How do you get that the ID7 is in “first” place?? Polestar 4 has an almost 20 % lager battery, and at this stage polestar has charged almost 74 kWh and the ID7 65 kWh in the same time?

Effiency?

[@tricky86]

Yeah, I dont get this either as the math doesn't add up... The ID7 starts with a battery capacity of 7.7 kWh and at 3:42 time stamp, the ID7 has increased its capacity/charged to 65.2 kWh, which if you deduct the 7.7 kWh it started with, it would mean that until this mark the ID7 has charged 65.2 - 7.7 = 57.5 kWh, while the P4 during this time has charged 74.1 kWh. Even if that number 74.1 kWh is gross and you were to deduct an efficincy loss of 10% (probably less than that), the P4 still has charged 0.9 * 74.1 = 66.7 kWh, which is still 66.7 - 57.5 kWh = 9.2 kWh more than the ID7. I don't see how the ID7 "won", when it didn't even come close...

Great video Björn, really interesting. Thanks 👌🏻👍🏻☺️

[@godofdun]

Not bad, need to manage the BMS better to not have that dip. Maybe another thing to do software update on lol

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

Amazing performance from the ID7 - but are we at a point where it really does not matter that much anymore? Back to how I love the design and feel while driving?

[@Grainca2012]

Doesent polestar 4 need 500amp +to get max chargingspeed?

[@AlejandroEV66]

That's the Polestar 3. Different platforms and battery packs.

[@ralfyway]

ID7 with larger battery should be compared. Seems that VW could manage the charging curve to better. Ist this the way: bigger batteries with ~100kWh and 20 min charging times to 70%?

[@fredrikmeyer-lampe9384]

Will you soon also do a test of Polestar 3 ?

[@Blasterxp]

In 42 minutes 18 kwh units charged. Not bad!

[@alextsogias9219]

Why not compare with Kia EV6 or Ioniq 5? Charging with these "old cars" is still a great experience and would be a good baseline comparison for fast charging cars.

[@Hayayyay]

Ich liebe Deutschland auch, but the p4 is still my favourite

[@_valxp]

The lucid air pure would charge even slower than all of them.... On 800V architecture 😢

[@tridruankham2657]

❤❤❤

[@bryanduncan6178]

The ID.7 89kW charges even quicker than the 83kW model....

[@bjornnyland]

*kWh

[@lukyluke993]

You mean the 91 gross and 86 kWh net battery?

[@Anthony-z5i]

All this will not be that relevant in another 3 or 4 years. The time in minutes will probably display something like 8 minutes for 80% charge. Also, that 80% charge will be after the driver has been travelling for a good 700 to 800km. It is coming. I cannot wait. I can see it being the standard test for EV,s too. They are improving batteries every 6 months to 12 months so between now and say 2027 that is 3 to 5 times better technology. Bring it on.

[@stellanlundberg6614]

Hi Bjorn you can’t compare in % charging between a battery with 82 kwh and 100 kwh. You recommeded once to compare with miles charged per time unit!!! The 100 kwh batteries are charged at 90% mores miles/kwh than ID7 at 100% Please don’t compare like this. Expect more of you as an expert!

[@stephanandersson8230]

Compairing P4 with ID7 is like compairing a Volvo with a Porche...

[@philw4625]

Spec the ID7 up properly and there’s not much in it price wise (for the single motor). I dunno - these two are on my shortlist. Just not sure. ‘Sensible’ vs interesting. 😂

[@stephanandersson8230]

​@@philw4625 Spec? You can spec a volvo like a Porsche but it's still a Volvo 😂

[@quavohuncho6156]

ID7 felt like a VW passat when I drove it. P4 feels lika a Mercedes S class.

[@rmkkkk]

Volvo IS DED, geely from.now on

[@stephanandersson8230]

​@@rmkkkk and you are....

[@c-fb]

That Polestar 4 is such a missed opportunity
