From Battery Life.
Description:
Today I’m testing the Kia EV4 (81 kWh battery, 78 kWh usable, 400V system) on a DC fast charger from 9% to 80% at Ionity.
We analyze:
Peak charging power
Charging steps & taper
10–80% time
kWh charged over time
Real-world range added per minute
And most importantly — how it compares to:
The Kia EV3 (same battery)
The Volkswagen ID.3 GTX (79 kWh)
The Tesla Model 3 Highland (78–79 kWh)
