Does anyone have any advice on whether the fast charger available with the peugeot 3008 is worth having? I have been told that its restricts the places it can be used. If you get the fast charger should you also get the wall charger? Is there any contribution towards that? Thanks in anticipation.
To answer that question you’d need to know & understand the charge profile of the 3008s 10.8kWh battery.
The options are the 3.3kW or the 6.6kW AC charger that sits in the car. Charge times quoted are 3h30m for the 3.3kW and 1h40m for the 6.6kW. If you are parked up at a destination such as a supermarket regularly then it’s a simple calculation of how much money you will save over the 3 years of the lease compared with the £300 extra you will pay for the 6.6kW option.
As an example, if you plug in once a week & pull 10kWh, you will pull 1,560kWh over 3 years, at 15p per kWh average at home compared to free from a supermarket charge post, that’s £234 saving instead of £117 saving using the 3.3kW standard charger . Not worth paying the extra £300 for as you won’t recover your outlay.
To make the difference you’d need to be charging nearly 3 times per week at a free supermarket charger for it to be worthwhile.
The other constraints are the length of time you can use the chargers, it’s often 2 or 3 hours at supermarkets, depending on their footfall. But I can’t see an economic argument for the 6.6kW charger unless you are stopping at supermarkets most days for a meal.
