Someone better than me at figuring amp hours could tell us how long it would take to add say 480 kWh of charge, at 80% efficiency, at 60 amps (doable at our house).

60Ax220V = 13.2 kwhrs per hourx.8 = 10.56. So, about 45 hours to charge 480 kwhrs.

Thanks.

So even for us, if we we ‘ran the tank dry’ it would take a week plus of daily plug ins to get it back full. Wouldn’t have to let it sit ALL day every day, but we could leave it plugged in for 4-6 hours a day during peak sun.

Realistically I observe for a fact that EV owners pretty much just plug in every time they park the car at home. We already have a plug-in hybrid, my brother has the Mach E GT, and an across the road neighbor has an Audi EV. Ya get home, plug it in, and leave it that way til ya drive it again. IT might not get to ‘full’ but you put miles back in it.
