Seems like 800v architecture is going to dominate soon. anyone here own a 800v EV? I’m still glad to own a Volvo C40 EV now, even though it’s not great at charging. We use it for local driving and charge overnight at home. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1135752_toyota-and-lexus-800v-evs-f-150-lightning-home-power-backup-cost-stellantis-electrifies-in-canada-todays-car-news
800V+ architectures can be achieved with pouch and cylindrical cell packs but it's much more difficult to physically squeeze equivalent prismatic cells without increasing cell voltages (and degradation) for smaller vehicles. Probably a non-issue for trucks/SUVs. This could be extremely beneficial for those living in condos so they can exclusively DC fast charge.
Lots of 800V owners in the Hyundai Ionic 5 section: Hyundai Ioniq 5 | Inside EVS Forum also the Kia EV section: Kia EV6 | Inside EVS Forum might as well include Porsche as well: Porsche | Inside EVS Forum Perhaps do some reading there to get more insight
Petro Canada 350kW chargers in Vancouver seems to throttle the charging to 150kW or less anyways. I could not find a 200kW+ charger on Plugshare that would provide more than 150kW ACTUAL in BC despite be rated at 350kW. This is almost pointless in BC with 800V until the infrastructure improves.
