Confused 🤪

Hi all, I have just charged up at a shell recharge, I was at 16% and charged to 80%, = 64%!! On the bill it said I had 42.22kWh. I paid £34.19. So 42.22 X 85p = £35.88 why didn’t I receive 64%? And why did they charge £34.19 when it should have been £38.88?

It looks like you got charged 81 pence per kWh, which tallies with this (if using their Recharge card):

Understanding EV charging tariffs | Shell Recharge

Did you pay using their card, or contactless?

What makes you think you didn't get 64%, if the car charged from 16 --> 80% ? It looks like the charger delivered 66%, there are usually losses and seems you ended up with 64% in the car?

Price wise: 42.22 x 0.81 = £34.19

I forgot about the recharge card, it’s just that on the recharge app is says Total volume 42.22 kWh I can’t work out what this refers to, as I’ve had over 60%, sorry I’m not too good with figures.

42.22kWh in the app is what the charger has delivered. 64% change in SOC is ~39.5kWh into the car. This gives a charge efficiency of 93.5%

Remember - what a charge point delivers also includes charging losses, so you always deliver (and pay for) more than what gets stored.

Sorry SOC?

Sorry SOC?

State of charge.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Not a lot of choice for rapid charging in Brighton area (I'm in Peacehaven but luckily have a home charger). The amount of tourists that come to Brighton and would want a quick 30-40 mins before heading home and they'd have to go to Shoreham for the new & improved Shell garage or hope that a BP Pulse unit is working. If you can get onto Octopus you'll get a discount on rapid charging via Electroverse app.

It’s that shell I used, I shall be getting a charger at home soon, the drive should be finished in the next few days so I can get one fitted. I’m in Southwick.

I'll keep an eye out for ya as I regularly go past via Portslade to Shoreham & Worthing. I've got black Xpower.

One day in summer you may see me there too! I have friends in Portslade and I drove to visit them last August. Planning to do the same this year. Combined with visit to the Glyndebourne Festival it's a 1,000-mile round trip. In an SR. Easy peasy.
