I am planning to keep the battery at around 80%, so I will charge maybe every 3 or 4 days for 4 hours at cheap rates. If I am planning a long trip I will probably charge for 2 consecutive nights. Most of our journeys are between 10 and 5o miles, and we will probably cover around 600 miles a month, so I am confident I can find a charging regime that suits. I think its 9hrs 15 mins from 0-100%, but could be wrong.
Thanks 🙂 I’m trying to judge if I went to visit my family 320mile round trip, I would like to do it on one charge or at the most put a little charge in using the normal 3pin plug. Obviously the battery would be more or less depleted when I got home, which would be more than the 4hr window for electricity. However I only do the journey once or twice a month.
Now heres the kind of tricky bit and something I need to work out if I do go electric (90% chance). Given I’m a sparky I’m in two minds whether to fit a 11kw charger myself (£560 trade) and take 3yrs BP Pulse from mb for use on longer journeys. Should I go this route I would gain more charge in that 4hr window. (will make a thread on it next week or two)
