Skoda Enyaq 85x - Charging at Ionity 7-90%

[@jacobeiland82]

Great test. It would be interesting if you included battery max temperature to compare how much the cells are pushed.

[@mattiasjansson1565]

Yesterday I borrowed an ID7 from my local dealer and had a really weird chargecurve. Peak on (Kempower) charger was 190kW but had dropped to 104kW at 42% like the blue and green curves in your test? Can anyone explain why my charging didn't follow the violet/purple curve? Outside temp was 19 and sunny so maybe a bit overheating?

[@martinnnbeno]

Dear Chris, was the car equipped with Heat pump? I have 85x without heat pump and there is common R1234yf refrigerant which is more efficient for cooling. I think that car without heat pump can cool battery better when charging. Will be interesting to test

I've just got an 85x my first ev, very nice so far but an limited to plug charging 10amps at most as the house still has the original 1950s wiring and fuse box. This might be why my landlord refused to let me fit a proper charger. Do you think constantly charging at such a low rate will damage the battery

[@EmilEkdahl]

@@thetourkno. It will be more beneficial. Heat is the killer of batteries.

[@thetourk]

@@EmilEkdahl until other types of battery are on the market using batteries to power vehicles will only be a niche market.

I don't think the unpowered front motor has loss, yes it has its additional weight for more tire friction and a bit of rotor mass that might work like a flywheel for the front axle? 😇

What I most like with my Enyaq 80 is the charging curve consistency. I usually get 140 kw in the low percentages and still have 90-100 kw at 75-80%. As a result, I spend 25 minutes max for each charging session.

Enyaq 80 is pure beast in case of charging. The battery in that car is golden. I just wish they implement the preheating for winter months...

[@cubmeister1971]

@Sabejno It doesn’t look like they will or can implement it on the older models. Mine has software 3.7 and does not have preheating. Even when I preheat the car 30 before I get in, the battery remains cold. It’s a shame because it would really help.

Off topic but wondering what rear seat protectors you use for the dogs?

[@etienned2354]

it seems that some consumers have received recently enyaq85 rwd with 175kW+ charging curve

[@lollerte]

Yes i can confirm this. Reached 175 kw peak on my new 25 85 rwd model.

[@martinnnbeno]

​@@lollertequestion is if you have updated CATL (rwd) battery or LG from awd

[@lollerte]

@@martinnnbeno I have no idea. Can i check it somehow ?

[@martinnnbeno]

@@lollerte charging speed of LG (awd battery) is significantly lower after 60%

[@abraxastulammo9940]

​@@martinnnbenoSo if you charge to 60 % it cuts travel times down, nice!

[@peterclairhout7122]

Isn't the new ID4 RWD 77kW-h not delivered now with the 175 kWh charging speed battery? Found it in the specs.
