Re: Type 2 vs CCS charging speeds

Yikes, so it's not even constant, let alone consistent. ~60% over 12 hours is quite scary.

Re: Type 2 vs CCS charging speeds

Is the charging speed consistent when using a three pin plug or home charging point? I noticed in Bjørn's video that CCS charging drops to 43 kW at 20% capacity, then drops again three or four more times.

Type 2 vs CCS charging speeds

I apologise if this is probably a bit of a "new boy" question, but I want to make sure I've got the right end of the stick. From what I've read these are the charging speeds of the two charger types: Type 2 6.6 kW CCS 56 kW Source I assume this means, in theory, it doesn't matter if it's p...

How about taking the e for a run at the speeds you typically drive at and checking the efficiency?
Not a bad idea. Then I can try to calculate a projected range from that.

Judging from what I've been reading, it seems the ev-database figures seem quite accurate.

Re: Worst case scenario range

It all depends on your right foot. If you are someone who always gives full throttle, which I was, you will not even get 70 miles on a full charge. This is what worries me. I do have a "heavy foot". If I was going down the motorway at 70/80 miles an hour, with the heating on, and it's aro...

Worst case scenario range

I'm trying to figure out if I would be able to make it to Heathrow on one charge.

ev-database.uk says that the "hightway - cold weather" range is 70 miles. Is this the lowest it could be? At least for the first few years, as I know range drops over time.

Re: New Phone? This is how to make it your main device.

What if your old phone is lost, stolen, or "bricked"? Would you just have to start everything from scratch?

Re: Interesting issue.

Does this mean if you were to leave the car unused for a month or so, you'd need to plug in not just the main charging cable, but another one connected to the 12V battery to stop it going flat?

I don't drive very often, so I keep my current petrol car's battery plugged in all the time.

Charge to 80% or 100%?

I've read in several places over the last few years that charging an electric car over 80% is bad for the health of the battery, and should only be done rarely. Since the Honda e doesn't have a very large battery capacity, this lowers the already low range down even further. For instance, if work is...
