Pro, Pro S and GTX carry an 11 kW three phase unit. Packs run 45 kWh usable on the early Pure Performance, 52 on the current Pure, 58 on the Pro, 77 on the Pro S and 79 on the GTX Performance, for 219 to 373 miles WLTP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical upshot is a difference of about three per cent. A Pure takes 7.2 kW at a British house and a Pro takes 7.4, because 11 kW is a three phase rating and a house has one phase. Both sit inside a 32A cable, so the same lead suits the whole range and the trim only matters if you are weighing up whether to chase a three phase supply at work. On a Pure that would gain nothing at all, since its charger is capped either way.\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, 52 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 58 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 77 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 single phase at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 hours 45 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\u003e16 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 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\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours\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\u003e25 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37 hours 45 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\u003eFigures are calculated rather than quoted: battery divided by power, 13 per cent for losses, quarter hour rounding.
