I was hoping our Family could start posting
1) Charge times
2) pump info such as 50kW/350kW
3) pump output 39kW
4) starting percentage/ending percentage
I will start
A) 74%-98%, 50 min. at a 50kW pump,while pump was running it showed 39kw output.
Also at 94% it said miles expected 236miles( I felt this was low) please show comparisons since we are all new. Hank / EVadopter/artreis/Tonejr83/give me some feedback if better suggestions I would really like this to stay on topic,maybe some owners have charted 2-3 months info. I am in California weather should not effect info here. (just rain lately) I will post my next few charges. I know freezing cold and stuff effects it I am looking for NORMAL weather conditions Please.This will show Maximum Efficiency under normal weather to compare. Just trying to see if 280-300 miles is TRUE

Last charge with mostly city and some highway driving - at 100% said 400miles - see attached pic

Coincidentally, I took this photo this past Sunday to show to my sister since she is considering getting her Ariya and selling her Infiniti Q50.

I started charging from 25% SoC to 95% at 350kw charger. It took me 44 mins.

Last time I did it, it was from 10% to 95% in 47 mins

Im Jealous even at 350kW in Northern Calif not even close. You are lucky hopefully it stays open on your visits that is my concern in the future. Good Luck

Turn on the battery heater before heading to the charger. It should help.

Temp is 50degrees plus (California)when I charge also car has been driven couple miles prior to charging.
Other results:
Feb 25th Went to Rancho Cordova,Ca. (1) 350kW broken (1) 350kW in use.
So I charged on a 50kW, I went from 44% to 94% in 50 min. Pump output started at 45kW then 20 min later dropped to 34kW
March 1st El Dorado Hills Ca. (Raleys) 50kW (All 4 Pumps)
74% to 94% in 40min estimate distance showed 248 miles

• Dayton -> DC
  • EA at Cambridge, OH. Only got a little charge, about 10 minutes at 60 kW. Unit worked fine. WalMart with nothing else there.
  • EA at Belle Vernon, PA. Charged to 90%, at 70 kW. At a Sheetz, which is really a nice location for this.
  • EVGo at Hagerstown, MD. Charged to 90%, at 70 kW (100kW station named Anka). Grocery store with lots of fast food nearby.
• DC -> Dayton
  • EVGo at Hagerstown, MD. Used Anka again, got the same rate, and charged to 90%.
  • EA at Belle Vernon, PA. Charged to 98% thinking maybe I could make it all the way home. Got 90 kW (initially) from the same charger. It was warmer out. Dropped down to 21 at about 91% charge and stayed there all the way to 98%. Belle Vernon to my house is 243 miles, mostly at 70-75 mph.
  • EVGo at Reynoldsburg, OH. Chickened out with 28% left and added exactly 20% (so that I could see how close it would have been). Got 70kW from a 100kW charger.
  • Pulled into the driveway with 22% left. I would have made it without the additional 20%, but it would have been really close.

I used the battery heater for both legs (and forgot to turn it off after Belle Vernon and Reynoldsburg). I just turned it on and left it on right from the start for both. The only thing I did differently for the climate control was to turn on Driver Only.

I was doing about 123kw of charging when my battery was really low at 10%. It kept over 100 kw for as long as 40%+ SoC. It had a really nice flat curve for quite some time,

Just charged at EA last night.

From 7% to 61%

Took 26 min. Stayed between 113kw-98.

Didn't go below 100kw until about 60% so I just unplugged then but i was surprised how well the charge curve was. There was a kia ev6 next to me, I'm sure his charged faster but I bet we still have a more consistent curve.

How much?

How much?

$19.75

Just wanted to share how much I love this regen. I'm new to EVs but I heard of regen, but I didn't think it would make much of a difference. I'm thinking maybe add a mile or 2 per charge. Boy was I wrong.

I went from Calabasas to Los Angeles (about 25 miles) after I charged in Calabasas. I left at 99% and 180 miles.

Got back to l.a and have 170 miles left. I think it said I regened 16 miles or something. Granted I was in stop and go traffic and city driving. So there are some benefits to being in traffic 😀.

But it was crazy how I would see 174 miles remaining then all of a sudden see 175 and it bounce back and forth.

I will say the percentage still seems to go down, not sure of the accuracy on that but it went from 99% to 87%. Not sure what counts the most miles or percentage but either way it was cool to see. I love driving EV'S!

Have you done the math to compare Gas$$. vs electric cost. miles since electric was $19.75 it will differ considering 20mpg/30mpg or 40mpg just curious. thanks

No, I hate math and not good at it. Lol

I just know its way cheaper. 😀

Today was a very GOOD DAY. I started charging at 15% SoC. EVGO consistently kept the charge at 104-105 kW for 20.5 mins or 58% SoC. It incrementally reduce below 100 kW thereafter.

From 59% to70% SoC, it went for another 7 mins between 90-100 kW.

From 71% to 81% SoC, it went for another 6 mins between 80-89 kW

In total, it took me from 15% SoC to 95% SoC in 47.5 mins. I dispensed 67.39 kWh. Assuming $.45/kW during “peak charging time”, that equates to $30.32. Worth it? Yes, because it’s free!

 

[FolsomCa]

I charged today in El Dorado Hills,Ca. Pump 50kW. output 44kW
Topped off started 73% to 95% it took 30 min. same timeframe whole duration
Had a couple minutes to kill so stayed up to 99% would not show 100% or maybe after 5 minutes I gave up? So once I was sitting at 99% it showed estimated RANGE 240 miles.

I've been driving my Shamu in Eco mode & e-Step since previous charging session to experiment consumption in city traffic, and kept track of miles driven which has been consistently over 30 miles for every 10% battery drop. Today after the last charging session, it shows estimation of 324 miles over 96% battery capacity. Before purchasing, I was hoping the city driving range would be 300+ miles in SoCal weather condition, which is now confirmed.

Is your eStep on and in Standard driving mode? Since you live near Sacramento, it’s quite cold up there…

 

[FolsomCa]

I have been using ECO mode and when hills or traffic lights switch to B mode, I will use Estep if I travel but otherwise not concerned I did not like Estep because I felt cars behind me maybe felt I was going slower than normal. I bought more solar panels and will charge at home ,will continue in ECO mode use B mode when needed . Bottom line saving lots on gas and will use EVGO occasionly if shopping but not to go sit for 45-60 min. Going uphill Sport Mode works great.

Today I drove my Shamu along the SoCal triangle (San Diego - Riverside - Orange County) for some errands and also to experiment Ariya highway consumption (Approx. 90% freeway speed ~70 +/- 10 mph, and 10% in city driving).

I started out with battery level at 94% (after charging to 96% and driving home the night before). After 165.8 miles, the battery level dropped to 35% with remaining estimate of 113 miles, averaging 27.18 miles over 10% battery level (165.8 miles/61%).
Then I recharged the battery up to 91% with estimate of 303 miles, and completed the remaining mostly freeway driving of 51.6 miles with remaining battery level at 72%, averaging 27.16 miles over 10% battery level (51.6 miles/19%).

In summary, my experiments on my Ariya give ranges of 270+ miles at ~70mph freeway speed and 330+ miles in city, under SoCal temperature range 50-70 F, and e-Step active without sudden acceleration and slowdown. Also, the Ariya still has 20+ miles more hidden below zero.
