Have you tried adjusting the regen settings I expect Sport mode to have them high by defaultit needs some getting used to (maybe not using B), but certainly my experience so far. The torque hits like a hammer and Is relentless.
overall I love it, I’ll be pottering around Cornwall for a couple of days. The car is currently “sipping” on an 11.2 kw AC supply at the cottage.
Very interesting - YouTuber 'BatteryLife' got even worse than that at at steady 130km/h (~81mph) at around 2-2.1mile/kWh, although his conditions were nearer freezing. It really is a thirsty beast, and to be honest is a little disappointing - Somewhere around 3 would give over 300miles range, but 2.5 is realistically ~250, which isn't great, especially for a "380 mile WLTP"Averaged 2.5 miles per kWh on this trip which is a little scary (I’ve had a Skoda Enyaq whilst waiting for my iX) and got 3.2-4 miles per kWh. So lower than I was expecting but then my experience with EVs is limited. For reference the drive is mainly motorways and dual carriageway.
iX can chage at 22kW on AC, but only 11kW using the supplied universal charger and a suitable connector one of the CEE Red 3phase, option to use a proper plug and cable when using abroad useful but I expect not cheap. Useful for me a few companies I visit have 3 phase sockets I could use and in the 4 or 5 hours I'm thre get a 50% charge at their expenseyes very lucky to have 3 phase. It’s a redevelopment of some very old farm buildings (which I had some involvement with), so 3 phase went in, along with PV and a 1Gbps leased fibre.
I so wish that was true. Every spec sheet I have read, and even the ones you quoted above show a maximum of 11kW even on a 32A 3-phase supply. It's a little poor IMHO as even the Zoe will take down 22kW on AC, and there are quite a few 22kW/32A public chargers around.iX can chage at 22kW on AC
The 11kW refers to this charger you get with the car not sure if any other manufacturer offers a 3 phase charger most are just supplied with a 3 pin plug 2.3kW maxI so wish that was true.

main reason they use 22 kw is there is almost no 11 kw public charger they are all 22 kw (except few may have 11 kw front of hotels or small shops wants to offer to their customers.iX both 40 and 50 will charge at 22kW, 51 minutes for 62 miles is over 20kW View attachment 1334

I think they are misleading consumers with this calculation 51 min cannot get more than 9.35 KW total goes to battery not even clear what is the lost caused by heat generated by current on cables / components So is this even full effective rate I am not sure.Yes but doing the maths on the charge rate suggests 22kw is possible, although I have read the onboard is 11kw
They have not made it clear that the iX will charge at 22kW plugged into a AC Rapid. In the UK plenty of these though being replaced by CCS in fact these AC rapid charges will charge at upto 43kW 63A/phase for I think Tesla's. All these AC Rapids have built in connectors (tethered) Now if the iX chaging cable (not the universal charger) is a 3 phase 16A (11kW) in the UK we will be reduced to just 3.7kW when going to Tesco for a free top up or at a Pod Point where you need to use your own cable. The cables are clever (the good ones) they tell the car to limit the current draw to match the cable. Most EV's sold in the UK will come with a 32A single phase charging cable you will know if you have a 32A 3 phase cable by the weight and all pins wired.I think they are misleading consumers with this calculation 51 min cannot get more than 9.35 KW total goes to battery not even clear what is the lost caused by heat generated by current on cables / components So is this even full effective rate I am not sure.
There are only few cars in market offer 22 kw onboard charging capability which is generally not seen as adding value vs cost to manufacturing.
Logical - I await your 22kW test with interestthe car generates a square wave signal of a predetermined frequency to tell the charger what it’s capable of handling. For example the tester we use when we commission new ev charge points has a selector dial to pretend to be a vehicle of a pre determined type. Meaning we can for example select 22kw and when connecting to a 7.2kw charger it won’t accept it (rather than trying to pull 22kw)
