Hi all sorry if this is a silly question will hopefully be receiving my Hyundai Tucson next month and will hopefully be charging it from home. I was wondering how much electricity would it use? How do I work it out? here is how I have worked out and hope I am right so the battery size is 13.8kwh. If I am paying 0.37p per kw does that mean it will use 13.8 and I will pay £5.10p 0% to 100% (0.37 x 13.8) or am I wrong on the above calculation Thanks for any help and sorry for the possible silly question lol
To charge your battery will normally require 9.6 kWh taking into account any losses, 30% of the capacity is kept in reserve to protect the battery, occasion the battery go as low as 20% however that is very rare (I occasionally use this function to clean and rebalance the battery cells, that a different subject).
You will find the vehicles battery is most efficient at 25 degrees C above and below that temperature the battery efficiency degrade 1% per degree C, i.e. 25% less efficient at 0 degrees C, but to be honest with vehicles regenerative recovery system you will hardly notice it.
Expect around 28/32 miles in the summer and 18/20 miles in the winter, 6000 miles per year expect to use 1300 kWh.
Hope this helps
