Kia Niro EV Long-Term Review, Part 15: How to Pick Your Home Charging Station (1 of 2)
To be honest, there are so many articles on the Internet dealing with the same subject that I almost gave you half a dozen links to click, thus giving me the freedom to write about something else.
It also protects your EV by supervising the flow of energy from the terminal. We’ve seen that the duration of a charge depends on the power of the terminal . But it also depends on the ability of the EC to convert the power of the electrical flow. For example, if your EV's charging capacity via the OBC is 7.4 kW and you plug it into an 11.5 kW station, your charging will still not exceed 7.4 kW per hour, no matter ho much you swear at it. Recharging will take place but over a longer period of time, whereas it will be faster for the guy next to you whose EV is equipped with an 11.5 kW EC. Again, swearing won’t help.
And if you do 7.2 kW x 1000 / 240V, you get 30 amperes , i.e. the maximum justifiable amperage of your terminal. In other words, there is no need to choose a charging station of more than 30A . If it is less powerful, the charging time will be longer. If you don't drive much with your EV, that’s fine. But if you drive more than 200 km every day, it's better to choose a more powerful charging station, which will not damage your battery thanks to the OBC.
“In short, you have to calculate everything,” says Yannick. “Heating, energy-consuming appliances, the heated pool, the spa... My advice: let professionals guide you through a load calculation to find the right balance between your needs and your electrical capacity.”
