They don’t list the cars by how long it takes to charge it. In fact they dismiss the usefulness of 10-80% charge times, only to come up with a nonsensical surrogate.
The surrogate is only based on peak charge performance.
What they did:
How long does it take to charge the kWh needed to drive 100miles from a low SoC?
Now divide 1 hour by this charge time. You get a distance.
This distance represents: charging 1 hour at optimal/peak charge speed, how many miles would you charge?
The “errors”:
Energy needed to drive 100miles is from their own measurements under wildly varying weather conditions.
No car can charge at peak power for 1 hour.
Want a real comparison with these parameters? Don’t use peak charging performance, use 10-80 times (average charge performance) & consumption obtained at comparable weather conditions.
From the article about the miles per hour of charge rate:
The calculation for miles per charging hour is carried out by dividing the average charging power (in kilowatts) by the Edmunds tested consumption figure
The results are complete BS.
