I mean, true, but a small charge rate isnt that big of an issue if the battery is also small. It just gets difficult if the two dont match up well.
That said, at that price, they couldve added that small QoL thing…
Well yes and no. A poor charge rate on a small battery means it will probably charge, from a SoC perspective, as fast as a bigger vehicle with a faster charge rate…but it’s adding effective range more slowly - and considering you need to stop more frequently, it compounds the disadvantage.
True. Though it only becomes a problem with longer travel distances, where youd require more than one stop to charge. And at that point, the size of the battery is a larger annoyance I reckon.
You’re forgetting the small 46kW charge rate - so you’re not recharging very fast when you inevitably don’t get very far.
It’s such a cute, quirky, utterly perplexing car.

Japanese companies seem to have a really hard time grasping what Europeans or North Americans want from EVs.
Japanese companies are largely still in the hydrogen camp
Which is going so well for them
And that’s only up to 60% or so; the charging curve is unfortunately quite poor.
