EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive real-world test of Australia's fastest EV charger, a 400kW Ampol station, using the MG IM5. The reviewer, Tom, highlights the impressive peak charging speed exceeding 350kW, noting it as a significant advancement for EV infrastructure in Australia. He details the user experience with the Ampol EV app, the drive-thru stall design, and the charging curve, which saw the car reach 81% in 19 minutes. While praising the speed and the potential for rapid road trips, Tom points out a few drawbacks: the lack of shade at the charging stations, which could be problematic in hot weather, and minor synchronization issues between the car's display and the charging app. The cost of 75 cents per kWh is deemed acceptable for the convenience offered. Overall, the video expresses optimism about the rollout of such ultra-rapid chargers, emphasizing their necessity for enabling long-distance EV travel in Australia.
