Rivian chooses Samsung for its first-gen battery supplier

That would mean a ~4% buffer.

Please don’t tell my wife about this buffer…”Honey, I think I need gas, it says zero miles left.”

Total kWh/Usable
Model 3P: 82/76
Model YP: 75/72.5
ID4 1st: 82/77
Taycan 4s: 79.1/71
Mustang Mach E ER: 89.7/78


Edited: Model Y Performance is 4%, everything else ranges from 8 % to 13% so varies a LOT.

Ioniq 5 seems to be about 6%. The etron is sitting at about 9%.

The key takeaway here is how absurd the Mach E charging curve is, especially the DC behavior above 80%.

Honestly I think ford is playing super duper conservative as their first real EV platform. The updates will probably unlock faster charging and range imho.

I'm not sure if it's that or shit battery cooling. I hope you're right, and I suspect that's the case. They have admitted to intentionally nerfing charging above 80%. At some point being too conservative impacts the perception of the vehicle in a negative way that's hard to overcome.

Mach e numbers are incorrect. Something like 99kWh capacity with 88kWh usable.
