Rivian R1S Shows Slowest MP6® Charging Performance to Date in AMCI Testing’s Real-World, Fast-Charge Test.

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.

FAST CHARGING STANDARD

In the absence of a national standard, MP6 uses the most reliable, accessible network to date: Tesla Supercharger and its ‘Magic Dock’ adapter.

WHY WE CHOSE 6 MINUTES.

Six minutes is the average time it takes to fuel an ICE vehicle. When you are out of charge or time in your EV, charging speed is what counts. Further, “To achieve the environmental promise of EVs there needs to be a greater emphasis on fast charging, not range,” according to AMCI Global CEO, David Stokols.

CHARGING SPEED OR RANGE?

According to Guy Mangiamele, Director of AMCI Testing, “There needs to be equal emphasis on vehicle range and charging speed. Regardless of range, when on the road, when short of time, or short of range, charging speed is what really matters.”

TEST METHODOLOGY

With EV charging methodology established over a decade, our proprietary protocol begins with 10% state of charge, MP6 is calculated over numerous charging sessions at stations always exceeding the vehicle’s maximum charge rate.
