How To Charge To 80%

[Coulomb]

The charger you show Martin needs some TLC, as the cable has come out of its cable clamp

I'm not a fan of letting "chargers" dangle from their cords like this. I use a relatively inexpensive garden hose holder to support my granny "chargers" when I use them. It's placed near the outlet they will plug into. It also tidies the cord when not in use.

5th service and MOT today at Waylands Oxford. £ 433.85 inc vat. Battery SOH 90%
Last year 4th service and MOT at Waylands £322.76. Battery SOH 93%.
So average battery degradation : 2.5%/year.
Usually charged to 100% at 7kW, but 80% on rapid.

This is for Mk1 2020 model, right? Not bad

Thanks for the re-assurance!
As the battery is now down to 90%, I guess in real terms that means the range will be down to 150 miles. During last summer, I was still getting the usual 180-210 miles on the GOM! When weather cold I have trouble getting the GOM over about 135 miles now.
