You have them here in the Netherlands. Not many, but they are there. And it fills up the Honda e faster than normal standard charging stations. https://www.wedrivesolar.nl

We also have a few 22kw charging stations here in Italy but I still can't understand the point of it if the car can only take 6.6kw?iHansz wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 12:39 pmYou have them here in the Netherlands.

Yes strange, but really the e is full much faster. Guess those charging stations can deliver much more constatnt power.Mirco29 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 12:41 pmWe also have a few 22kw charging stations here in Italy but I still can't understand the point of it if the can can only take 6.6kw?iHansz wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 12:39 pmYou have them here in the Netherlands.

I highly recommend a spiral cable: This way the cable does not hang down to the (dirty) ground and does not touch the vehicle...

Unfortunately even public chargers you won't get anything more than 6.6kW.
Honda designed that charger future proof so that it can charge any new model that can take up to 22kW.

I also have a spiral cable, it has the advantage as you said not to get dirty and storage space but also the disadvantage that the usable length is very short.

Just hoping to clarify this.
In Ireland you only get one cable for free. So you can pick either the 3-pin or type 2 cables. The 3-pin is considerably more expensive so obviously that's the one to pick as the free one, but I'll also need to get the type 2.
They have a single phase and (more expensive) 3 phase option for sale.
The car only takes 6.6kW so for charging on a public 22kW charger will there be any difference in speed if I only have the single phase?

You need to understand this. For every single phase and triple phase cables there are 2 kinds, 16A and 32AMailforkev wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 11:17 am Just hoping to clarify this.

Single phase 16A = 3.6kW max
Single phase 32A = 7.4kW max
Three phase 16A = 11kW max
Three phase 32A = 22kW max
So for the Honda E you need to buy Single phase 32A or higher cable.
The charging station will give you a maximum of 22kW depending on your cable and car on-board charger. With the Honda e you will charge at 6.6kW max

Thanks Reuben, that's what i thought. The cheaper Honda one (that the UK folk get for free) should be single phase 32A I presume?
