Range vs Price Comparison

Dividing an EVs purchase price by its range allows a direct comparison – the lower the price per range, the better value for money.

While EV range is one of a multitude of factors that buyers consider, for some it's high on the list.

What is Peak DC Charge?

This is the maximum power at which the EV can be charged using a DC fast charger.

A higher kW rating means a quicker charge.

However, DC charging follows a 'curve', and this peak rate is generally only matched for a short period during the charging session (when the battery is at a low state of charge).

Note that your charge speed will always be limited by the capacity of the charger you are plugged into. E.g. If you are using a 50 kW charger (often found in some rural settings), you won't be able to exceed 50 kW even if your EV can handle more.
