"If you figure 3 miles per kWh for a typical EV, you'll recharge at about 10 MPH from a standard 110 circuit."
Charging at 3.3kW would indeed permit about 10 mph charging rate but I think you won't find many 120V rms outlets that will supply the required 28A rms current or 30A at 110V. You may find some dedicated 120V outlets that will supply 20A rms, or about 2.4 kW, which would permit a charging rate of 7.2 mph, and many will be limited to 15A or 5.4 mph charging rate. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Re-EVLN-Buying-An-Electric-Car-Why-Charging-Rate-DC-Quick-Charging-Matter-tp4678177p4678207.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
