I get this message whether I reply to the post or reply to you directly.
Anyway thx for your reply. I wonder how long it would take for 80% charge.
ctiomico2003 is right. There's a lot more to it than just that. I got your PM about not being able to post, but I figured I'd answer your question here.
For an 80% charge, you're looking at refilling 80% of the 60 kwh battery (I know there are battery buffers as well, this is a rougher estimate), or about 48 kwh. 48 KWH divided by the 3.8KW charge rate is approximately 12.5 hours. I use such a rough number because there are a lot of factors that can influence the charge time up to 80%, with battery temperature management being the primary one. Heating the battery will draw a good chunk of whatever power you're trying to put in the battery to begin with.
I agree with ctiomico2003 and Don. The existing 3.8kw charger is probably perfect for a daily commute.
Also, I believe clipper creek has a charger that splits the available power as well.
