Hi folks,
Well we've had some experience of charging the car at home now. Interesting factoid, unlike the iPace the eTron rarely draws maximum power, and does not draw its charging power consistently over the period of charge. The outlet is a 7Kw tethered 240v Single Phase AC outlet which for our American friends I think is referred to as Level 2. Delivers 32A at 240V. House supply is 100A 240V.
This first chart shows power supplied to the eTron whilst it's charging. Each bar represents the kWh added in each half hour period (plus a bit of background load). It should be more or less flat at about 3.5kWh. Source of data is my Smart Meter.
(UK Date formats so that's 2nd October)
This comparison is with the iPace charged on the same supply a few days before. I picked this example as it covers an identical time period, but the effect is the same every time.
