I posted recently querying whether Type 2 cables were redundant. Well, I thought I would christen mine yesterday, at a National Trust site. The initial reading was at 3.4kW, rising soon after to 3.6kW. When I returned to the car 2+ hours later the charge rate was 1.4kW. I had a look at cars nearby that were charging at 11kW. OK, I appreciated that I would only get about 7kW, but the car charged less than that in 2.5hours - the battery having gone up from 44% to 53%.
So, could I have been doing something wrong? A slow or faulty cable supplied by my MG dealer? Or what?
To add insult to injury, it seems that Charge Point (whose charger it was) have a minimum charge of £15, so I have paid over £2 per kWh, which must be some kind of record!
