Just got our Recharge 3 days ago. Waiting on a home charger, but we were told the car will do a full charge in 16 hours with a standard plug in to the wall using the provided cable and the 110 adapter that was provided. Turns out we have gotten nowhere near that speed of charging. After 3 trials and many hours we are averaging 1-1.5%/hr at home, using various outlets and even changing buildings on our property to get a completely different electrical circuit. On the 6kW public chargers we are getting about 5%/hr and paying as much as we would for gas for an equal range.
This is irritating since we had planned to plug in nightly. The charging units to install in our home are on back order. But it is especially problematic since we live on an island and don’t have easy access to the fast chargers. We can’t drive the car because it is charged in literally all day.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is 110 just not reasonable to expect to work? Are the 6kW chargers all this useless?
Feeling frustrated that I can’t drive the car I just bought….
