Kramer wrote: » Is your car an SR+? 37kWh in 45 minutes is possible on a 50kW charger (unusual though in a Model 3 IMO - you'd be maxing it at 125 amps @ 400v for the entire time & the Model 3's battery charges from approx. 350v at the low end to 400v, full, with lower voltages for the new battery chemistry SR+ cars). A LR could take 37kWhs in 45 minutes too at a 50kW charger, but that wouldn't equate to a 40% charge either, i.e. 27% to 67%. Maybe someone else is familiar with that charger & it's a HPC?

The window closes on this though as 17 months go fast and your facing a 20+% of the said value as BIK for every year of use As an rough example EV price 50k. BIK lets say 20% -> 10k on top of your personal annual income that could get you a tax bill of 4k per year. There are benefits though so is up to you if it's worth it.
innrain wrote: » 37kWh sounds right for 45 mins the problem is you're missing some 20%. hmm. Never happened to me before. Any other car plugged on AC?
Kramer wrote: » That would mostly explain it. Assuming an approx 80kWh battery, 40% would be 32kWh. Maybe some losses, maybe the HVAC was using some energy etc. 37kWh seems a tad high but nothing I'd question. Close to 200kms for little over €11 in a €70k, 450hp+/AWD performance car ain't too expensive until you have access to cheap, night rate home charging. Well wear .

Sam W wrote: » Thanks everyone! I have absolutely nothing at the moment :P Never bothered doing car wash myself as I used to have just 1 car and I just drop it in a shopping centre to get it washed. I'm only doing it now as we now have 2 new cars and there's a construction site just beside us, bringing way too much dust every day. I just want the basic wash when they become too dusty after a week or two. I may still bring them in for the wax/polish etc.
