With electric travel we got a taste for it, or rather we want to take advantage of every possible opportunity to touch the state of the charging network in Italy and Europe and put car technologies to the test. Target? Photograph the actual situation of the infrastructure for electric cars and bring it back to you in a distilled format, without prejudice and without embellishment.

LE AUTO: HYUNDAI (400V) VS HYUNDAI (800V)
The challenge of this Live Battery it is played at Hyundai, a manufacturer to whom we borrowed two cars because he has both the technology of the present at home, with architecture a 400V di Hyundai Kona Electric, and that of the future (already available) with IONIQ 5 and 800V.

While waiting to try the two-wheel drive version of the IONIQ 5, the one with rear-wheel drive and lower fuel consumption, the new 800-volt technology will be represented by the “dual motor” with all-wheel drive. Kona Electric has to settle for a smaller battery, it is true, but it can count on a lower weight, the presence of a single motor to power and more compact dimensions, while remaining within the limits of charging at 400 volts.

TRAVEL

We will start from Carugate so that we can use the Enel X fast charging station to equalize the level of the two electric cars after the small movements necessary to gather the editorial staff. Both with 97% charge at the start (yes, we don’t like round numbers).
Once you have recharged, you will leave for Peschiera del Garda, an obligatory stop to retrieve Filippo at the station and thus proceed with the whole group. The car with three passengers will be free of luggage, loaded on the second car in order to balance the load and be as accurate as possible with the measurements.

The goal is clearly to arrive in the shortest possible time, which is why we will take advantage of the fast top-ups e IONITY will be fundamental to allow IONIQ 5 to lower the times. Kona has the limit of about 75/77 kW of maximum real power in fast charging … will it be able to compensate with lower consumption? Find out with us.
