Ford F-150 Lightning disappoints in AMCI Testing’s latest MP6® Real World, Fast -Charge Test
AMCI Testing’s new MP6® testing standard continues to yield valuable real-world results and the industry is starting to take notice. Why? While price and charging infrastructure have been capturing headlines, charging speed is becoming an issue as the market becomes more mainstream. The mainstream market will depend more on public charging, and nobody wants to spend one more minute than they must at a charger. MP6® approximates the average ICE vehicles’ 6- minute fueling time.
Rivian R1S Shows Slowest MP6® Charging Performance to Date in AMCI Testing’s Real-World, Fast-Charge Test.
AMCI Testing’s new MP6® testing standard continues to yield some surprising, real-world results. Supposed ‘laggards’ like the Toyota bZ4X do very well, Hyundai’s 800V product is mid-pack, and a dedicated BEV manufacturer like Rivian, does very poorly.
“Given the outstanding engineering across nearly all aspects of the Rivian R1 series, we wouldn’t have expected the R1S to place last on the latest MP6 leaderboard,” said Guy Mangiamele, Director of AMCI Testing. “The R1S had an uncharacteristically ‘soft’ ramp-up in charge rate, even when starting from 10% SOC. It will eventually charge at more than 150kW much later in the charge cycle, but even then will not hold that level of charge for long,” he said.
A surprising result for the Kia EV6 GT-Line RWD in AMCI Testing’s latest MP6® Real World, Fast-Charge Test
As evidenced by the amount of charging speed conversation at CES, AMCI Testing’s new MP6® testing standard continues to yield valuable, and often surprising, real-world results and the industry is starting to take notice. Why? While price and charging infrastructure have been capturing headlines, charging speed is becoming an issue as the market becomes more mainstream. The mainstream market will depend more on public charging, and nobody wants to spend one more minute than they must at a charger, particularly during a Chicago winter! MP6® approximates the average ICE vehicles’ 6-minute fueling time.
AMCI Testing launches MP6®: a 3rd party, fast charge standard for real-world BEV use.
AMCI Testing launches MP6®: a 3rd party, fast charge standard for real-world BEV use. MP6 will provide the most important metric needed for public charging, regardless of system or provider. Los Angeles, CA, September 28, 2023 Consumers cannot change public fast-charger reliability or station availability, but they can choose a faster-charging vehicle: one that provides the most options when travelling long distances or anytime their battery is low. Consumers confront these two scenarios when charging performance is most critical, and when BEVs suffer most in comparison to what they know best, ICE (internal combustion aka gas/diesel engine) vehicles. MP6 is AMCI Testing’s new 6-minute charging standard. It will give consumers real-world test results for the 6-minute charging performance of any BEV on the market.
