charging

Just a quick question about charging speeds. I've had a look at the reported power being drawn by the car at a few locations using Soul Spy, EV Notify and Car Scanner and just wondered if they seem right as I was expecting them to be higher. The car is a 2015 65 plate 27kWh. EVSE cable - 1.6kw...

another scheduled charging question - though quite specific: I have octopus go so in we-connect my charging location has 'off-peak power' on and the time window set to start 12:30am and end 5:30am. Function is set to charging only i.e. no air con/heating. Octopus go cheap rate is from 12:30am...

Hi all, I'm a new member here, so first post please be gentle! :) I am lobbying the government to agree a workable domestic street-parking EV charging system matters in terms of meaningful climate action AND hitting the Government's own 2030 EV target. There are many UK households (like ours)...

Hi everyone! I'm writing an article for new and potential EV owners answering some of their most commonly asked questions. Cost, in particular, is something that seems to hold people back from getting an EV. I'd love to share some wisdom from current EV owners. Would anybody be willing to share...

Hi all, I am new to the SpeakEV as I recently bought a 2015 Q210 with own batteries. When trying to charge at home the car randomly stops charging and completely shuts off. Sometimes it starts charging again but other times it doesn't until I open the door of the car and it starts again...

EDIT Thank you for all the responses to my survey! The survey is now closed. It has been really useful to have the thoughts on my proposed app for my project from those with electric vehicles. Thank you. :) Hello everyone, I am in my final year of university, studying Media Production. I...

Hi all, already found a lot of helpful stuff on this thread so seemed like the best place to ask some advice I recently got a 2016 24kwh leaf and I am panicking it was a big mistake (but I hope not bcs I love it!!) My research suggested I could get up to 100-120 miles out of a charge, which...

First snow this winter Charging with granny cable 10 A.

I was just looking at electric planes, and the Pipistrel Velis Electro came up as having just been certified in Europe. This plane is from Slovenia, but if you look at the photo of the charging port, you'll notice it's using the Chinese GB/T DC connector rather than CCS or Chademo. I'm a bit...

Hi, I'm a newbie about EVs and I'm here to ask for a clarification. After reading some docs about EVs, I learned that there are 4 different charging modes, where each of them specifies voltage and current values during EV charging (so, indirectly, the absorbed power). For example, I read that...
