I have found nothing definitive on whether the Ocean uses a 400V or 800V battery pack. I'm guessing 400V based on what we have seen so far. However, all EVs released so far that charge at 250kW CCS or faster have had 800V battery packs (Tesla is the only outlier). Any comments or opinions?

From what I've seen so far as well, I would have to agree with you on your observation. Additionally, it seems to me, that those EVs with bidirectional charging capabilities...which includes the Ocean...have the 800V battery packs too? Of course, I could be wrong about that.

I agree that the Ocean will have 800v charging rate since it is the future!

In keeping with Henrik stated goal to have the newest
and latest EV tech In the Ocean, belies one to expect the 800v system

This link may shed some light on why I conclude the 800v

What is 800V Charging? The Complete Guide - Top Charger

Why is 800V faster? Because it lowers the current; the lower the current, the lower the resistance (energy) loss in the conductors. 800 volts is more efficient.

Double Touché!…….great observation!

VW is rolling out bidirectional charging and the MEB platform is not 800V.

The Ford 150 Lightning is also 400 volt and has (will have) bidirectional charging.

Outside of Tesla chargers, the fastest 400 volt chargers I have seen is 200 kW (400 V/500 A). Currently need 800 V to get over 200 kW (although Rivian stated they plan on getting over 200 kW and they have 400 V system so there may be chargers coming out with more than 500 A).
