Tell us about your home charging routine

About four times a week, doing about 250 miles. We charge using a low night tariff (here from 20:00 to 07:00) about once a week or less!

 

If you were buying a new charging unit now, what would you buy and why?

No other because our charging unit has already any connectivity feature included and we do not get more than 400 volts/11kWh; because we live in a condominium with 40 other apartments. Next will probably be a charge management and if needed our ABB product is compatible with. Today we have our own line to our parking and so far do not care what others do. We have already planned a power line, when buying the apartment.

Tell us about your electricity provider and tariff. Would you recommend them?

As we live in Switzerland, the answer is not relevant. We have a very low tariff so far but when war in Europe goes on, prices will rise.

 

Are you part of a charger-sharing scheme for those who don’t have their own charger?

No
