it's a pita to try and divide 10 by 3 (well nigh impossible, in fact).

well, just divide it by 2 then... 😂
seriously, why dividing by 3 should be more important than dividing by 5, for example.

but likely it's more than that, the units of feet and inches are of a "human" standard. ergonomics are key for yachts - they are all about the human environment. and why I think arguments for degrees F also make intuitive sense, they were originated to human scale.

which is exactly the reason behind the birth of IS.
"human" standards are volatile and variable. my foot is not your foot, my inch is not your inch.
and even if it's exactly the same dimension, how should it be measured? starting from the nail, from the skin, from the bone?
the roman base feet was not even measured on a feet but on a step.
in almost every European middle age church is carved the set of "human standard measures" that were to be used in the market gathered in that single square every week.

i really can't understand how is this still debatable in 2025, haven't we lost enough space probes for this nonsense?

They are available to order now for delivery in march next year here in the UK. So just over 6 months. Not too bad

of course the step up to the 2026 with 800V seems like a big one. And I suppose it is. but I guess that's just the nature of things.

It was interesting, and more than a bit puzzling, a couple months ago when Lohsheller blurted out something about a 900V Polestar 7. Which was hard to understand, given it will be built on the 800V SPA3 platform. But here is a 900V (Geely sibling) car. with very impressive specs and packing industry leading battery technology. Although will it still be leading edge in 2028? maybe not so much, but probably good enough!

"The entire series comes standard with a 900V platform, compared to the previous 800V platform.

• RWD: a 370 kW (489 hp) electric motor, 103 kWh CATL Qilin Battery, 810 km CLTC range, 6C fast charging rate, 10 minutes to recharge battery from 10% to 80%, 4.98 seconds of 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time
• AWD: an additional 310 kW (416 hp) front electric motor, 680 kW (912 hp) system power, 95 kWh Golden Brick Battery or 103 kWh CATL Qilin Battery, 710 km or 762 km CLTC range

The 95 kWh capacity variant supports 12C fast charging, and takes 7 minutes to recharge the battery from 10% to 80%. "

Updated Zeekr 001 with 900V platform interior unveiled, October 11 launch

The updated Zeekr 001 supports 12C fast charging, and takes 7 minutes to recharge the battery from 10% to 80%.

Close! Tire tread is actually measured in 1/32 of an inch Or the height of Abe Lincoln’s forehead on a penny…

ah, of course. Thanks for proving my point!

So on a 800v charger the MY26 is slower than the MY24/25. According to Co-pilot 800v fast chargers represent 30-40% of all fast chargers in Europe at the moment depending on country.

You mean 400v, right?

No I mean 400v. The max speed is then 120kw. Only on 800v it is 350kW

You may want to edit the original post so it doesn’t confuse folks…

At least they post it… many companies don’t even post their 400v charging speeds.

 

[Yastus]

I think he means that my current 400v P3 does 250kW (with Tesla chargers; 200 kW without). but more than the 120 kW that is stated in the overview.

My understanding is that a 800v PS3 only does max 120kW on a 400v charger whereas a 400v PS3 does 250 kW on a 400V charger

The 400v PS3 only does 250kW on a 600 amp 400v charger, at a 500 amp 400v charger, it’s limited to 200kW. Lots of variables !

Yes, as I mentioned above in my post also. However putting the 120 number there is a bit weird in any of the variables especially if you're selling the car.

is it though?

The MY25 and the MY26 have the same 400V 10% - 80% time: 32 minutes.

I think this is worse than it sounds. Very rarely am I road tripping 10-80% rather ~5-50% repeatedly where I would see higher average KW and faster charge time with the MY25 (for 400V chargers).

120KW sounds like they're using the rear stator as a voltage converter.

Rear motor is much more than 120kW, so I suspect they have a separate converter…

Continuous power is ~140 or 169 KW (@800V) depending on which leak you trust.
