“and claims a charging rate of up to 11 kW and with an efficiency of about 90% for easy overnight charging.”
That’s a some 9kW lost on a 80kW battery. I get the convenience, but I think the best use for those would be when standardized and installed in public parking spots, for a brief charge bump, not to charge fully at home, e.g overnight, which is what Porsche aims for.
Those public chargers are likely to see much higher utilization than in-home ones. If your concern is wasted energy, time an individual vehicle spends charging seems like the wrong metric.
