Vestel ECharger EVC04-AC11-T2P

Product Information

The machine also pairs with the Pod Point App, but this app isn’t as highly rated as most others on the App Store or Google Play – and for good reason. Highly reliable, the Vestel-made range is smart and networked, encompassing well-engineered entry level designs as well as powerful step-up models. The range's compatibility with the intuitive E.ON Drive App also means that E.ON customers will have seamless and effortless control of their charging, as usual. By using the E.ON Drive App, E.ON customers can charge en route at more than 30,000 charging points throughout Germany, and control their E.ON EV home chargers.

That would like campaigning for all motorway services to have 96 pumps because there were drivers queuing half an hour for petrol earlier this year.This is the challenge for infrastructure…it’s fine now for early buyers. It becomes less fine unless the infrastructure improves in line with adoption. And we know already it isn’t. Plug in the charging lead into the EV charging station and your vehicle. Please refer to the vehicle’s handbook if you’re having trouble with this. On Eco, your charger will adjust to the energy usage of your home. This means it won’t overload the system, or charge up when your tariff costs you the most. Obviously there is not much anyone can do if the ability to charge a car exists cheaply but people don't take advantage (e.g outside 3-pin plug on a separate circuit costs a few hundred pounds - also useful for any other electric items one might use outside).

Peak winter demand can be up to 60GW at 5-6pm - if all cars charge up evenly throughout the day, we need another 10GW but people won't, they'll plug their cars in at the end of the working day so we could be looking at 20-30 GW around 5-6pm pushing well over the 75GW capacity. The blue light will be solid when the electric car is fully charged or the charging session has been suspended. One of the more expensive options for public charging are rapid charge points that are typically found at motorway service stations. This is because they offer a faster charge (average charge time to 80% is around 20-40 minutes) and because of their convenient location when you’re making longer journeys. Just to be clear I'm not anti-EV, I'd love a Tesla Model X as I said in an earlier thread but I am pro-EV-truths and I think this thread is actually helping with some of the topics being discussed like this and helping some ultra pro-EV people just be a bit more honest about things... anyways, I'd like some engagement on....

pumps, x 5 minutes per car = 192 cars I understand (although does assume all pumps in constant use which is obviously not the case). It also comes with an extra two-year parts warranty, on top of the industry standard three-year warranty. The Zappi is fantastic – and it’s the only charger to get if you have solar panels , or plan to get an array soon. This charger, which is produced in China and licensed to Project EV in the UK, is also known as the ATESS or Growatt, which can make things confusing.

As I said I'm not arguing with the need for improved infrastructure (it is improving by the way), but I think you are exaggerating the problems with your claim that 'hundreds and hundreds' of chargers are needed at every service station, maybe I am missing something but I don't see why this many will actually be needed. New electric cars have not dissimilar ranges to ICE vehicles. So surely electric cars will only need to charge as regularly* as cars fill up. But as you say takes longer if we use 30 minutes versus 10 minutes would mean 3x the number of rapid chargers needed as petrol pumps? (Having not been through how many petrol pumps does a service station have 10? 20?) But if you’re looking for a cut-price budget option, this is your knight in solid if unspectacular armour. Be a bit more imaginative. You can charge places that aren't motorway services, so break road trips up by stopping at nice places whilst you charge.Its Solo 3 has some useful features, like auto power balancing, which alters your charging speed to ensure your home isn’t overloaded. If you have a solar array and are willing to pay a bit more, this model can use surplus solar power to power your vehicle. I don't mean travelling over 100 miles without stopping is extreme, just that for most people it's not really an issue as they can have a coffee/lunch/ explore or whatever.

So the two key figures - 83 TWh per year compared to the 2019 annual demand for electricity in the UK which was 309 TWh - so we will need to make and supply 25% more electricity with EV's. The app is also top-notch, with an intuitive design that easily allows you to see where your vehicle’s energy is coming from. All you’ll need to do is choose which charging mode suits you. Marking the first step in this partnership, the Vestel-made EV home chargers are being initially rolled out to Germany as part of a new E.ON cooperation with the ADAC SE, Germany's largest automobile club.Not including the fact to we need to generate 10% more than demand to cover transmission losses so the above numbers are on the conservative side. Also 10% charging losses not included. And I've not included lorries and buses because I don't know their miles per kWh. I also used 4 mile per kWh to be optimistic as that is considered very efficient. This chargepoint is very small – just 17.5 cm by 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm, giving it a total size of 2,700 cm³. EO says it’s the smallest smart charger in the world, though it appears to have been overtaken by the Wallbox Pulsar Plus. this infrastructure needs improving/a solution for those w.o. off-street parking - could argue is actually the bigger issue. When thinking about public chargers, it’s important to look at what sort of subscription or pay as you go services are available for them and which nearby chargers they can be used on. For example, some of the major public charging networks include:
