    Do certain EVs require a minimum kWh homecharge box? Ie, some 7kw and others 22? If so then am I right in thinking that when going for your first EV through Motability then it might be worth pushing the boat out a bit more than you usually might (assuming you can afford to somehow) on a model that requires ( or comes with) a 22kw, so that you then have the better one going forward ( assuming you’re likely to be having further EVs on, or even off, the scheme)?

    For a 22 kW EV you will require a 415v  3 phase supply, you average domestic supply is only a single phase spur of the 3 phase supply. You would need to contact and pay your local energy company for a new 3 phase supply

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
