Charging speed varies massively based on the level of charge you’re starting at, temperature of battery, the actual unit too.Thanks frank! Looks like that will be my natural stopping point. On an MG5 roughly how long will it take on a CCS to get back to 100 do you know? I have a type 2 charger installed at home and I have never used the rapid ones!
Going from 10% to 80% is quoted around 60 minutes on a 50kWh unit - generally I try to stick 20% minimum just in case the location is busy and I need to go to option B or C.
Also found charge speed drops off after 83% so only tend to charge higher if next location is a worry - although you could stop at Booths Penrith for a quick 30% top up if available and worries about Scotch Corner. Sometimes depends on who needs a comfort or snack break.
