On the face of it that is a fifty per cent improvement. At a British house it is worth nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason is that both arrive at the same place by different routes. The early car is single phase and 7.4 kW is its entire rating, so a home supply delivers all of it. The later car is three phase and 7.4 kW is what a single phase can carry out of its 11. So whichever EQC you have, the answer is 7.4 kW and a 32A cable. Spending more on the lead changes nothing, as the car sets the rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 80 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A at home, either build\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW, later cars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe calculation is the battery over the delivered kW, uplifted 13 per cent for charging losses, quarter hour rounded.
