Hi,
I am due to pick up a new e-208 GT this week from my local dealer. Will be my first EV and really looking forward to getting the car.
However, I have a concern about the on-board charger. The dealer originally offered an in stock GT with the standard 7kw charger which I ordered. For whatever reason, the car became unavailable, so the dealer offered with a discount another in stock GT which has some factory fitted extras like the charging plate and key less entry.
One of the extras is the 11kwh three phase on-board charger. At the time the dealer didn't know what this was and I didn't push for information. Since ordering I have done some research including on this forum and I am now concerned that the 11Kwh charger won’t work with the 7kw single phase pod-point home charger.
A few posts on here and other forums stating that when connected to a single phase 7kw charger, the car with its' 11kwh charger will only pull a maximum of about 3kwh.
Wondering if anyone knows for sure if this going to be problem? I have asked the dealer but no reply yet. I am now not sure if I should accept the car or not because I need to be able to charge at 7kw when at home.
Does anyone here have experience of the 208 with the optional 11Kwh charger?
