Last week I charged my car (64kw battery) to 92% ready for a long trip.
On my return the car said i had 20% left which equates to approx 13kw.
I then put the car on slow charge and the zappi charger said it had provided 58kw 'top up' and the car said it was now 90%.......how can this be?
13kw plus 58kw = 71kw!
So i wondered if
a. the 20% meant i had 20% of the 92% (not 100% battery capacity) left, or
B. If there is a technical reason why it takes more kW to replenish the actual kW lost?
Thoughts please?
