EV charge times

lyledunn

Apparently from September 2021 charge points placed on the U.K. market are required to be factory set not to charge during peak times, 8-11am and 4-10pm. Although the parameter can be altered by the user, it is a recognition that things are getting tight.

    Quite interesting to read extracts from the various EV forums regarding the ability of the EV battery to be recharged when the vehicle has been left for some time in freezing conditions before attempting a recharge…..

    It would appear that the EV prioritises the available mains power to warm up the batteries before they can be charged.

    Also, there appears to be quite varied figures for range when driving in freezing conditions that are not attributable to having the “hot air heater” on but reduced battery capacity.
