    Safe, or pushing it? (charge rate from 3 pin plug)

    No rush as such, though would like to (safely) get as much juice as possible through the Octopus Go cheaper 4-hour window

    Safe, or pushing it? (charge rate from 3 pin plug)

    Thanks for that, the display on the EVSE shows 250ish volts most of the time, it's set at 10amp max, so i guess that kind of makes sense, as it also shows 2.5kW at the EVSE, with 2kW being delivered to the car

    Safe, or pushing it? (charge rate from 3 pin plug)

    Interesting, I wonder what current it's delivering for 1.87 kW. Mine's drawing 9 amps to provide 2.5kW at source, 2kW at the car, so perhaps yours is a tad less than 9 amps. Not sure why that would be from a 13 amp socket if it's a standard granny cable

I ran it for a couple of hours just now, the internal temperature of the unit went up to 35 degrees this time and both the back of the plug...

    Safe, or pushing it? (charge rate from 3 pin plug)

    This is probably not MG4 specific, so feel free to move if not appropriate. [Edit: Moved to General Chat.] I have this new charger (10m extension) that I've been using as I don't have a proper home install (and can't), it plugs in to the 3 pin mains. It has an amp limit setting which I've been...

    Do you keep a 'charge log'? ⚡️

    Just curious how many owners are keeping a log of all their charging activity and costs and, if so, for what reason? I started to, though missed a few recent charges and now wondering if there's much point and why I'm doing it! Does anybody find it particularly useful for any reason?
