2022 PRODUCTION ATTO3 BYD AUSTRALIA CHARGING TEST AMPOL AMPCHARGE

EV Channels Review

Tesla Tom from Ludicrous Feed provides a comprehensive review of the Ampol AmpCharge DC fast charging station in Northmead, Sydney, using a 2022 BYD Atto 3 Extended Range. The video begins with a demonstration of the Atto 3's Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, powering a breakfast grill. The main focus shifts to the AmpCharge station, highlighting its ease of use via the app, 24/7 amenities at the adjacent Woolworths Metro, and good signage. The reviewer notes that the Atto 3 achieved a charging speed of 88.8 kW, exceeding its rated 80 kW for the Extended Range model. The charging station itself received a High-Speed Charging (HSC) score of 39/50 (78%), with strong marks for charging speed, ease of access, and amenities, though a point was deducted for the lack of undercover seating. The review also touches upon charging with a Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector (achieving 6.3 kW) and the included 10A charger (delivering 1.7 kW). Overall, the Ampol AmpCharge station is presented as a convenient and effective option for EV drivers in Australia.
