Hi bjorn, I am a Japanese, and big fan of you. Just Like you, I already did 1000km challenge with Ariya 63kWh in Japan. As a result, I could only demonstrate 46kW with ALL the fast chargers and the result was scattered. Nissan has since OFFICIALLY announced that if you fast charge from more than SOC 95%, the charging output will show the behavior of limiting to just 46kW. As a solution to this problem, Nissan has also proposed that the problem can be reset by turning off the power for more than 5 minutes. If the same behavior exists in the European version, it would explain why all fast chargers were limited to exactly 90 kW this time. Also, I found in the last charging session of 63kWh version Ariya 1000km challenge, the behavior of the charging output slowly decreasing from 93 kW after the short sleeping break would also make sense if the power had been turned off for more than 5 minutes. In the introductory part of your 1000 km challenge, did you use fast charging from about SOC 95% to full charge? If you could do 1000km challenge again, ・do you not fast charge from about SOC 95%? ・If you are fast charging more than 5 minutes after turning off the power, does it unlock the 90kW limiting behavior? It might be a good idea to check these two points. Thanks.

SOC = state of charge where 95% is nearly full and you'd expect reduced charging speed when a battery is nearly full. Do you mean SOC 5% (nearly empty) or am I misunderstanding? Edit: or do you mean the ariya reduces speed above 95% SOC then "remembers" that it should reduce speed, so when charging from e.g. 10% it is still limiting the top speed?

Therefore, it is possible that Bjorn is also subject to the same conditions that limits 90kW, rather than 115kW.

Wet roads, relatively high weight and drag coefficient. That combined with unknown charging problems. It would be interesting to see this test once again with 19” tires and dry roads. And of course better luck with charging. Considering the flat curve that we have seen in other tests it should be possible to do the challenge in perhaps 10h35 min?

What was the battery temp like though? Could it be the root cause of the suboptimal dcfc rates?

Hi, great review once again. Wonder if you could help me with the math. Dash says 10hr 6min driving and avg 118 kph. I assume the 10h 6m incl much idle time as no way just 44 min charging. 1000 km @ 118 kph works to just under 8.5hr driving. So, 2hr 20min total charging? Makes sense. Say avg 95 kw charge rate, that's 210 kWh added. If you used 75 kWh of initial battery fill, that's 285 kWh total expended. 28.5 kWh per 100 km ... Bing!

Despite the higher consumption and slower charging, I found myself liking the Ariya - especially in that colour - more than I wanted or expected. Perhaps it needs to be considered up there with Niro and Enyaq, just below the EV6/Ioniq5 leaders (at around £40-45k mark)?

Ok we've seen the grill and the toaster, do you have a soup warmer, a rice cooker and a microwave by chance? :)

Is there not a battery saving mode on the Ariya?

The charging speed seems to go to 90kW when the car locks or unlocks That could explain why it happens when you're not in front of it

I am pretty sure charging will improve once the chargers are updated to deal with the CSS quirks from Nissan's CSS implementation. CSS is a shitty standard so problems are expected with new implementations.

@bjornnyland - The Ariya needs a Geilo test now that we have winter.. I was getting abysmal charging speed in the cold this weekend. 38kw.. only got up to 60kw by 51% (and half an hour of charging). Ariya was silent when charging, so the heatpump wasnt running. So either mine is broken, or it doesnt use the heatpump/AC to heat/cool the battery when charging.

Maybe Sweden is regulating the grid? A preset code in the charger, and maybe not in the Car?

❤❤❤

ECOFlow, worlds most expensive toasting system.

just an observation, but every time you showed the charge speed dropped to 90kw, it seems to me that the car was around 30% charge, or just under. somewhere between 28-30 at least. Maybe that's what trips it and not the time of day or the charging time, but some internal setting for it to go slower when it gets to around 30% ?

The only reason I can see for getting the bigger battery, is battery degradation, if you plan on keeping the car for a long time.

No real point in getting the big battery. If its charging at the same speed the larger battery is just extra weight making it use more electricity. The only reason it was faster is most likely because you started with more range so it had about 30% less charging to do over the first full cycle. If you began with 63kWh in this one it would probably have taken longer than the smaller battery car thanks to more weight and similar charge speeds.

@siraff4461

@@Psi-Storm Yeah thats a pretty specific use case for all that extra money. Surely the two best things about larger batteries are more range per charge but also faster charge rate (per mile added - not C-rate) over a small one? Even if you do fall into that 50km window you also have to take into account poor weather, degradation and so on so most of those who would be in that window would fall out of it sooner or later anyway. Honestly unless the charge speed is fixed the small battery makes a lot more sense and that difference in cost pays for a lot of electricity.
