The portable CCS unit we bought can be dialled from 6 amps to 16 amps ..... the 16 amps works if that is the only thing on a 15 amp wired circuit from power box to socket because the circuit breaker is actually 16 amps not 15 amps.you can also get 16A portable EVSE's with 16A commando plug - that will give you a charge rate of around 3.8kW on typical UK grid voltage.
That gives a charge rate at the plug of roughly 3.6kw, the vehicle eats a bit, so the maths isn't all that simple, but using 3.5kw as the supply for charging, from 10% to 100% on the MG4 51 works out to around 13 hrs.
If I power it through the Victron inverter and set it to 250vac. then it improves to 4kw, it drops to 11.5 hrs.
