slightly off topic but ...
wonder if Porsche are going to be able to truly offer unlimited 350KW charging with no limits.
Given that I seriously doubt they have some radical battery chemistry that Tesla havent come up with I am just waiting for their 350KW claim to disintegrate. Either the claim or the battery anyways.
Porsche may not hold themselves to using the ultimately low cost cells on the market, as Tesla proudly claims to have.
From the ultimately low cost cells you cannot expect the lowest internal resistance and thus heat build-up.
Not that the Hyundai Ioniq happily charges at 2.2C. No Model S/X goes beyond 1.5C. Model 3 MR anecdotally hits 1.9C hitting the SC limit shared with the 3LR and S/X100 cars.
Porsche may well spend 50% or even 100% more per kWh of cells. This may well affect performance a lot.
We need to acknowledge that hybrids (dis)charge at really high rates, for very many cycles. Prius batteries do fine. Look up how many C those get on the plug let alone regenning.
Look at how potent the Chevy Volt cells are. Very popular for performance car in home garage conversions. The skinny: not as Cheaply built as Tesla cells.
Tesla, with a 120kW max charging network, zero competition and very large batteries in all their cars, never had reason to use anything but the absolute cheapest cells they could come up with. And they are. They say so themselves.
If these cells already take 1.9C and likely more, it's really not such a stretch for Porsche to get twice that. Let alone if they do in fact made a genuine effort to do something with cooling.
They are Porsche. Not some underfunded EV startup with unrealistic first design to market path. They've been at this for a while. They came up with their 2013 918 Spyder out of no-where. It was good from the get-go. A little faith.
