Charge Log Times

[wplate]

How long should it take to charge a half-full FFE via a 240V 30A Level 2 charger?

1h40m or less, assuming a 6kW charge rate (10% charging overhead) for a 10kWh charge.

Yesterday, after driving 32 miles, and at approx 50% battery, I plugged in the car at 5:11pm
At 6:56pm I received a text message"MSG: 2/6/13 5:41pm: FFEWes is fully charged."

I have other similar charge histories after similar drives that are reporting a 30 minute charge, with an occasional 1hr 59min charge after the same drive.

I don't believe the times reported in the charge log at all. It makes much more sense that in yesterday's example the charging finished when I got the text (1 hour 45 minutes after I started charging) and not the time reported in the text.

I agree with your assessment. I can't share my personal experience since I don't have a FFE (yet?)

In my experience, the charge log times are unreliable. Better to setup emails or texts for start and stop of charge to get accurate data.
