3 Pin Home Charging

I don't have a 64kW battery. It would make my MINI Electric too heavy and take all the fun out of driving it.

Oops, sorry, forgot I was trespassing in the Kona Electric forum.

 

I use it at 12A when needed. It generally takes around 48hrs for a full charge so 20-80 is about 30hr

 

My aftermarket portable EVSE displays total session power and that leads me to know that it’s providing a rate of 2.08 kW. It’s 9.1 A at approximately 230VAC.

For that I get 2.5% added charge per hour. You can reasonably extrapolate that ratio very slightly either side but the Kona’s fixed losses are significant enough that there is a zero offset to that linear relationship. It’s also possible's that the battery heater may kick in at higher charge rates during winter.

I’ve seen that this is very consistent for me all year round and between any two charge levels.

 

My home charger is 7.5 kW. I almost never let my battery get down to 20% or close to it, but it takes me about two or two and a half hours or a to go from 55% or so to 80%.

 

In the US using a 240vac charging station with 40A capability my 2020 Kona Electric charging rate is around 10%SoC per hour, current limited by the car's OBC. Miles per 1% is an elusive number, as too many variables go into it. Using EPA, it's 2.58 which any competent hypermiler can easily beat. When dealing with kWh consumption, don't forget to distinguish between wall-to-wheels (EPA) and battery-to-wheels (car's display).

 

No, the car limits the charging current to a bit under 32A at 240vac. I mentioned that 40A is available to emphasize that the EVSE is not the limiting factor. Note also my edit of my above post.
