Fast Charging to 100% is bad ... slow charging to 100% is fine.mclarenpaul said:Hi Kororu,
Thanks for sharing and good to see real owners with real cars now giving information. Will be interesting to see how this evolves in the future based on your driving habits. Although, 214 miles is not too bad. A general question, is it OK to charge regularly to 100%? I understood this was bad for the batteries.
Besides, 100% is not 100%. The battery should have at least a capacity of 90 kWh, of which you as a the owner/driver has about ~85 kWh to ~86 kWh available (about 95 to 96%). The remaining ~4 kWh should be split between a top and a bottom margin (of which I do not know the ratio). So that the car never ever really tries to hit physical 100% and more importantly never ever let the battery slip to zero. Both extremes are bad for batteries, especially the zero.Gdank said:Fast Charging to 100% is bad ... slow charging to 100% is fine.mclarenpaul said:Hi Kororu,

And why I say "slow" I mean "fast" ... not Rapid .... ohh this stupid naming system! I mean 7kw. compared to 50kw Rapid.
Be proud! You have obviously been driving it like it is a Jaguar!Koruru said:See my first home charge to capacity with my new home charge point from charge master 214 miles

wow, 285 miles is really good on 1 charge. But I assume that was not on the highwayLiberal_Baggie said:My best so far is 285 miles on home charge you have to treat her gently to get good range.

That's good news, 320 miles on the motorway with only a 30 min intermediate charge is good enough for me.Liberal_Baggie said:My best so far is 285 miles on home charge you have to treat her gently to get good range. I've been 160 miles out and back to day with 1 x 30 mins fast charge on Motorway took me 4 stops to find One (Ecotricity) that was working properly though that's nothing new! So 320 miles that's my furthest run to date in One day. Much Much better than my previous BMW i3 range extender it looks like and drives like a proper grown up premium car, and no more Petrol stops very happy so far.
I am new to this, awaiting my new IPace, and am having to upgrade my home supply to 80 amps, so I can get a home charger. We're you charging at 7kwh, and what supply do you have at home? I'm confused by it all tbh 😂Koruru said:See my first home charge to capacity with my new home charge point from charge master 214 miles

Have you really driven 285 miles on a single charge??Liberal_Baggie said:My best so far is 285 miles
Older homes have 60amp supply newer normally have 100amp in UKBilly Bunter said:I think in the UK that standard supply is 50 or 60 A ?
An upgraded 80A supply will leave you with 80-32 = 48A for other stuff which is huge.
You need the advice of a certified electrical engineer / approved installer unless you are qualified yourself.Billy Bunter said:Depending on what other stuff you have you might not need the 80A upgrade, but only you can decide......
