Vestel ECharger EVC04-AC11-T2P

Product Information

It allows you to monitor your home charging sessions, but it’s clearly been built with public chargepoints in mind, which isn’t what you want after buying a shiny new home charger. One of the more expensive options for public charging are rapid charge points that are typically found at motorway service stations. This is because they offer a faster charge (average charge time to 80% is around 20-40 minutes) and because of their convenient location when you’re making longer journeys. This chargepoint is very small – just 17.5 cm by 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm, giving it a total size of 2,700 cm³.

It also receives software updates if you connect it to a wifi network, which means it’ll get better and better over time – and if there’s an issue with the machine, a support team can fix it remotely. Ok, so we'll all charge overnight from midnight to 5am as per the EV tariffs - so lets say 75% of the 229 GWh per day is pushed into those 5 hours, that would increase demand by 35GW overnight - taking us well above the typical daytime usage (night is 20+ summer / 30+ winter) - so in winter the overnight charging would hit 65GW which exceeds the current highest daytime peak!Highly reliable, the Vestel-made range is smart and networked, encompassing well-engineered entry level designs as well as powerful step-up models. The range's compatibility with the intuitive E.ON Drive App also means that E.ON customers will have seamless and effortless control of their charging, as usual. By using the E.ON Drive App, E.ON customers can charge en route at more than 30,000 charging points throughout Germany, and control their E.ON EV home chargers. So the two key figures - 83 TWh per year compared to the 2019 annual demand for electricity in the UK which was 309 TWh - so we will need to make and supply 25% more electricity with EV's.

Plug in the charging lead into the EV charging station and your vehicle. Please refer to the vehicle’s handbook if you’re having trouble with this. On Eco, your charger will adjust to the energy usage of your home. This means it won’t overload the system, or charge up when your tariff costs you the most. But most people can’t be imaginative. If your journey is on a bank holiday down the M6 and M5 for example with your family and all and sundry are also on the road you aren’t going to get people taking detours. They need to get from Cumbria to Cornwall or wherever and they aren’t driving miles out of their way with their young kids in tow. So you need an infrastructure to support the weight of motorway traffic when the majority of it is EVs that allows people either far greater range than exists or simply has charging points in sufficient numbers to support the on road traffic in these sorts of peak scenarios. Service stations each need hundreds and hundreds of working charging points. I don’t think that’s contentious or even necessarily the full extent. That would like campaigning for all motorway services to have 96 pumps because there were drivers queuing half an hour for petrol earlier this year. The blue light will be solid when the electric car is fully charged or the charging session has been suspended.pumps, x 5 minutes per car = 192 cars I understand (although does assume all pumps in constant use which is obviously not the case). New electric cars have not dissimilar ranges to ICE vehicles. So surely electric cars will only need to charge as regularly* as cars fill up. But as you say takes longer if we use 30 minutes versus 10 minutes would mean 3x the number of rapid chargers needed as petrol pumps? (Having not been through how many petrol pumps does a service station have 10? 20?)
