Matay20 Posted yesterday at 20:47 Share Posted yesterday at 20:47 Yes, our engineers are having1 1/2 hour lunch breaks so not completing all the daily jobs as they need to charge. For some reason they thought they would charge in their own time… I don’t have a home charger as my house was going up for sale when I got the EV and they won’t move it so I spend 1 1/2 hours 2 days a week charging so I have a charge to get to sites. These are all expensive third party chargers and I get warnings all time about my ppm as they don’t get my 10pm kwh cost at home 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago The company I work have also payed for the installation of charging points on employee's driveways,but the vans are only getting charged when the electric is at its best price, so the vans don't get fully charged 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cars cant take Supercharging. Even without supercharging shouldnt be over an hour. If charging to 100% 80-100 is slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But theyve only set it to charge at certain times. On their EV tarriffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortPaul Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I don't know that much about the tariffs or charge time's as I was awkward and refused the electric van point blank and I am glad that I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago So we have a 22kw at home it charges the Kia ENiro in 4-5 hours from 20-80%. Its charged once a week if that. But cost around £3. It would be cheaper with Solar. Most homes that have a charger probably use 7kw thats 11 hours or so. People who have Octopus Energy or EV Tarriffs charge overnight when its cheapest. Between 12 and 5am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
