The app doesn't work on their older chargers which you find more of as you drive up north so yes £12 seem steep but it beats having to call them up to initiate a charge every time you plug in to an old (or new for that matter, I had zero success with the new chargers in Kyleakin last year)...
I figured that out earlier this week when getting to the bottom of the hill from my house, it gave me (very temporarily) 20.0 mi/KWh. Makes you wonder just how far you could go if it could sustain that :)
Spotted another trophy, a white one this time, heading northbound on the A702 on the stretch between Easter Howgate and Hillend around 6:10pm this afternoon
We stopped at Southwaite twice last year on a drive down. The Gridserve CCS chargers work well, there's just not that many of them.
Westmorland's still under construction it seems (Electric Charging - Westmorland Family) though ZapMap tells me Southbound at Tebay now has 2 bays of 2 104kW...
Tebay is our favourite pit stop, last year their website said they were expanding the number of chargers at their two locations but last time I drove through it, I was lucky enough to be able to charge at the northbound one but they could definitely do with more. I was hoping the Tesla chargers...
A bit of an update on this topic. I went to charge at another 22kW AC charger yesterday and I was able to get about 6.5kW on average from this unit, which suggests the other unit I was talking about must either have technical issues or deliberate throttling or something as the unit yesterday was...
I don't think I've ever even seen an 11kW charge point.
I'll get in touch with my dealership and ask if they'd be willing to swap my cable free of charge for a 3 phase one. I expect they won't but it doesn't hurt to ask, especially after a disappointing servicing last week.
Thanks for the info...
No I wasn't sitting in the car, I only stay sitting in the car when I'm desperate for a rapid charge and there's nothing else to do. These are figures I would see while regularly monitoring the state of charge in the iSmart app, which I expect to be accurate enough.
As for battery balancing I...
See my original post.
7 kW charging provides about 5.6 kW to the car which to me is reasonable enough
22 kW charging provides only about 4.2 kW to the car makes no sense. At least it didn't until people started explaining about 3 phase.
And yeah I get ranty when I'm confused, I like to...
Thank you that's the best explanation I've read yet. Still complex but it makes sense now. I just wish these things were better explained at the point of purchase so you could decide to spend an extra 30 quid or so for a 3 phase charging cable to make the most of fast chargers but I'm not sure...
