I bought my 2018 Kia Soul at the end of last August. Being in lockdown and shielding I have only driven around 400 miles. I have been charging using the granny lead connected to 13amp plug in my garage. During use, the plug, socket and lead to the socket have stayed cold.
In anticipation of buying an EV I have had the main fuse changed to 100amp by UK Power Networks. When we come out of this series of lockdowns and return to some sort of normality, I expect to be driving up to 4000 miles a year.
Now the question is should I continue charging the car from the 13amp socket or will it be worth my while buying a 'proper' charger?
If the answer is buy a charger then what do you all recommend?
