Hi all,
So I have ordered a new ZE LR - I have quite a wait it seems! So I have started to do my research in the wait!
I have been looking at charging, and trying to think what the best solution for me would be. I have been flip-flopping more than the current government between just using the granny charger and a dedicated charger.
My daily commute is about 40 mils each way and the car park near where I work has 7kw chargers, which is free to use. I am planning to effectively do most my charging there. That being the case, is it worth me getting a home charger, and not just rely on the granny charger? It seems like quite a bit of additional cost to get one fitted, which I might find is not that helpful.
My plan whatever is to get a 13a socket on its own ring mounted outside - useful to have anyway.
I also wanted to check - with the granny charger - are they ip rated? I read conflicting advice, about whether you can leave them charging in the rain? Clearly there will be times when I need to charge when its not the best weather... surely it needs to be safe to charge somehow!?
Thanks for the help!
