We were getting ahead of the curve, I’d signed for 25000Kms per year and after the first nine days (novelty I guess) we’d already more than a 1000 on the clock.
No panic, GB to the rescue. We have to quarantine for 10 days so this month will be well within the Kms limit including novelty and foreign travel so here’s to Boris! The first ten days of our holidays within four walls despite double vaccination and a negative test (that was my first test, like having a weevil up my nose).

Ok so back to the “Ullo John”
Let’s talk kWs, I thought, should I install a charging point at home? First thing to check is your home installation – Well we have a 60 Ampere installation (everything is electric) at 220 Volts that’s 220*60= 13.2 kWs, so with boxes at 3, 7 or 22 kWs I’m guessing for night time charging the 7kW is going to be ok.
Now our car is a 58kWh version but normally you should begin charging at 20% and finish at 80%, that leaves 60% to charge (0.6) only (prolongs battery life) so we would need 0.6*58/7 hours to charge = 6.6 hours, good for overnight charging……… and is incidentally the charger sizes at workplaces (well you do spend ~ 8 hours at work)…
