[EVDL] charging numbers

2015-05-25 Thread Rush Dougherty via EV
The e-Golf has a 7.2kW charger on board and L2 charging will take 4 hrs. So does that mean that it averages 7.5A per hour? My logic - 7200 watts / 4 hrs = 1800 watts per hour, 1800 watts per hour / 240v = 7.5 A per hours. I know that I'm doing something wrong here but I just can't see it. Some

Rush, The *power* is 7.2 kW and this means 7200W / 240V = 30A The *energy* is 7.2 kW times 4 hours = 28.8 kWh See how the units multiply just like the numbers? 7.2 x 4 = 28.8 kW x h = kWh You can also divide (work the other way) so that the energy divided by the time is power: 28.8 / 4 = 7.2

Len, I am with you. But, if you make a fair accounting of the cost of fuel versus the cost of electrons - it does look a lot better. Then you can reasonably say that the EV is better for the environment. That much is true but many folks won't let that sway them. In the even more intangible

Hi Len, I found my $4000 EV on Craigslist and drive it almost every day. Unfortunately, you are still one of the people that find their daily driving needs not met by most EVs due to the still limited range. Not a problem for most people in practice, but it is for some, even though you could still
