Hi All,
I am after some advice on what charger to have installed at my work premises.
I have had a Model 3 for just over a month and really need to get a charge point sorted! We also have a Seat Leon PHEV and in the next 12 months another PHEV which needs to use the charger.
My question is, am I better going for a 7kW or 22kW charger (I understand that the 22kW will only charge the M3 at 11kW (and the Leon at 3.4kW(?)). The electrician who quoted said PodPoint recommends the 7kW as the 22kW won't offer much of a benefit, it will also allow for more capacity in the future should we get another charge point. Although it looks to me like there is lots of capacity in our distribution board.
However, I want to be able to charge the M3 as quickly as possible to allow others to charge, and don't want to charge every day. I also want to be able to run the M3 battery down lower, (because it takes so long to charge off the mains plug adapter it can take 2-3 of days charging to get it back to 100% which is not ideal).
Price difference is £250 so money is not an issue. We also have 3 phase supply available.
