I would have preferred to see the comparison based upon time to charge from a SoC of 10% or 20% to 80% or 90%. Using miles added per charging hour to rank the EVs does not really seem relevant, especially since the reported numbers exceed the EPA range for almost every car in the report. Obviously, very few if any of the cars were charged for a full hour. This means that the rate shown is extrapolated from a short time frame. This approach completely ignores the kW/SoC charging curve. My experience with the EQS SUV is that the car is still charging at a rate of 100kW at 80% SoC. Some EVs don't come close to that number.

At 100% you will get ~290 miles range so that is nowhere near the 300+m/hr in that chart.
The EQS also charges faster that all Taycans to 100%
And all EQS’s charge at the exact same rate but the chart is skewed because of the expected ranges
