For what it's worth, longer range EVs also tend to support faster charging. A 250 kW Supercharger only charges at the full 250 kW when the battery is under I think around 25%. After that, it falls off linearly as the battery fills. (EDIT: This is why it's better to do somewhat more frequent, but shorter charging stops. On my road trips, I typically charge to just 60-80% with the expectation of arriving at the next charger with 10-20%) So if you have a 100 kWh battery compared to a 75 kWh battery, the 100 will give you more miles per hour of charging, simply because it can handle the full 250 kW charge speed longer. |
