FISKER OCEAN - EA 350 KW STATIONS AT WEGMANS

EV Channels Review

This video provides a practical demonstration of charging a Fisker Ocean at a new Electrify America 350 kW station located at a Wegmans supermarket. The reviewer details the charging process from 10% to 81%, highlighting initial charge rates peaking around 167 kW before gradually decreasing, with a significant drop occurring after 80%. The reviewer notes the charger's fans activating and heat emanating from the unit and the vehicle's charge port, suggesting potential thermal management considerations in warmer weather. While the charging speed is deemed acceptable, the cost per kilowatt-hour is considered slightly high. The video also includes comparative charging data from previous sessions on different chargers (EVGO 350 kW and a 150 kW CCS), illustrating the variability in charging performance based on charger type, ambient temperature, and the vehicle's state of charge. The reviewer recommends charging between 10% and 80% for optimal travel efficiency, emphasizing the slower charging speeds beyond 80%. The new charging location itself is praised for its covered stalls and convenient placement near amenities.
