  1. Hi TB
    Great vid as always. Instead of comparing soc it would be more important to compare how many kwh(/h…🫠) the cars has changed. Even more important how many kilometers the cars batteries are able to put back into the cars as this is the final result that actually matters for users/owners 👍(average consumption/kwh in battery)

  2. Really funny these charging speed "competitions" between manufactures and models.

    Maybe in these videos could be a plus if is added the charging time from the starting SoC of 10%?

    I saw that from 10% to 80%, Tesla and MG needed 25ish minutes.

    That's a good speed.

  3. The MG4 seems to be over reporting SOC at the start of the charging session; it's peaking at ~135kw but shows almost the same SOC when the Teslas' charge tapers to 135kw.

  4. I have 2022 SR+ 60kwh LFP and my charging curve is better then You shown us. Like You mention update of software boost a litle charging speed. MG4 have 64kwh battery , if test will be fair You should show how many kwh car take it to 90% and efficiency ist very important. MG have better charging speed and slightly bigger battery but week efficiency. Then Tesla win. My SR LFP shock me i like it very much. You should put MY LFP with Blade battery to this competition 😅

  5. on my 2023 RWD Model 3 with LFP battery, I still get a little over 40kw at 95% SOC. This is on an American made (Fremont CA) in Canada either on a supercharger or other public CCS level 3 chargers. 98%… and still at 30kW

  6. Question. Why do you think the Highland is the winner ? Well, if we do the math, the Higland charged to 90% which will be 54kWh, the MG4 charged in the same time 89% which equals to 57 kWh.
    So the MG4 put more juice in to the Battery at the same time and is for me the clear winner. But, as we can see, the Highland is at 53.5 kWh at 90%, it misses 500 W, thats for the reason how the batterymanagment calculates the percentage value, which depends on temperature and other enviroment factors. So why do you choose percentage over real kWh loaded in the battery for your charging tests ? Does the MG4 not give you these values?

  7. Hmm temperature on mg4 battery was not impressive -cold gating or not possible to set heating like on Tesla for optimal charging temperature ?which you was saying is around 40 degrees when starting to charge the car on 1000km challenge

  8. Lets do some math:
    If you charge the Highland from 10% to only 50% you get about 22.5kWh in 12min which translates into 150km of range at 150Wh/km. The average C rate is 2.

    Charging from 10% to 80% takes 27min and you get 39.4kWh or 263km of range at 150Wh/km. The average C rate slows down to 1.56.

    If you don't charge deep, the charging speed of the standard range Highland is quite impressive due to the 170kW peak in the beginning. But I would like to see that sustained for longer in upcoming Tesla vehicles.

  9. The RWD Highland battery tech is awesome compared to my previous LR tech. Always charging it to 100%, and after 9700 kilometers, the estimated degradation is 0.91%, or 4 kilometers. And on SuC I have over 80kW charging speeds after 80% SoC.
    I'm happy I didn't wait this long for the RWD review

  10. Charging faster at higher states of charge does seem to be an LFP benefit. My BYD Dolphin will pull 1-1.5C up to 85%, then drop to 0.5C till 95%, then 0.25C to 100%. It takes the pressure off optimising charging stops
