If we're fully charged when hitting the road, is a stop in Roscrea and then somewhere closer to destination (Valentia) going to be enough? We currently drive a Leaf so we are well used to the stopping to charge but obviously the Combo DC is a bit more scarce plus this is a longer distance than we'd ever attempt in the Leaf - I'm a little bit apprehensive about it tbh!

The car will tell the charger what rate to deliver but the charger can in effect do what it likes as its a direct connection to the battery? If thats the case maybe there is a fault and its just providing max, even for the Leaf's! :eek:

As for charging stops - where in Dublin are you starting from and what speed would you drive at? I'm in Lucan myself and I would probably drive in one go to Limerick FCP to charge (190km) taking it a bit handy. Probably safer is to charge at Midway (superfast charger, up to 69kW) for a 10-15 minute charge and then full speed to Limerick. From there on only slow chargers I'm afraid, but you should make it to Valentia island (180km) with plenty to spare.

I guess we'll see how we're doing on the way to stop at either Portlaoise or Roscrea and then fully charge at Limerick for the final leg. If we make it in time for the ferry across to the island we'll cut a few kms off the distance For the list - it's 172 D in Marina Blue.

Range was alright till Limerick but from there till Roscrea our +40km on the range (to Midway) had dropped to +13km. So I gave it 5 mins in Roscrea which got us to Midway. From Midway to Blanchardstown I didn't lose anything on range even though I did 120ish. Is there any topography based app which can work out the energy used to get somewhere? Those long slow hills around Nenagh really seemed to steal the range! Stopped in Midway on the way back. Was about 25km on range and took 31 mins to full. It didn't seem any faster than what I got at any other fast charger.
