Quick question for those who understand EVs more than me (which is most people) when I saw that there were two versions of each model on the scheme, I assumed that they would be 2WD and 4WD but all are 2WD. The only difference is that the more expensive ones are listed as 22kwch
22kW is reference to the On board charger, for AC charging
What advantages does the more expensive model give in real world driving and is it worth the extra £500 AP?
Onboard AC charger. Basically it doubles the rate at which the car can draw power from a AC supply, this it nothing to do with fast charging as this is DC. You can have a three phase charger installed at your home but I’m not sure the costs will be worth it. @kezo is a sparky.
In most circumstances your better saving £500 and going for the standard 11kW 3 phase on board charger. Thats because the max AC 1-phase rate is 7.4kW for home charging.
The additional £500 gains a 22kW AC 3 Phase onboard charger. Unless you are unable to charge at home and need to rely on lampost style AC chargers. Most people when out and about will be relying on 50Kw Fast – 150kW Ultra fast DC chargers.
