Thinking of getting a P400e but was wondering if the 3 pin charger is fine or should I splash out & get a wall charger. Mileage will not be a lot, so don't really need a fast charge. Thoughts or problems please Range Rover Sport: Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S

The basic charger works fine, do you have a cheap overnight tariff such as Octopus?

You probably will not be able to fully charge during the cheap window with a slow charger though.
However a wall charger is not cheap! 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

Thanks for that. No cheap overnight tariff Looks like around £1100 for a wall charger after a quick google. Get a few 3 pin charges for £1100  Range Rover Sport: Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S

We got a HyperVolt charger and it has been faultless. Only about £650 installed iirc

Thanks for that. I shall have a look at them. Far more sensible price  Range Rover Sport: Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S

I've been considering the same, but my garage is a fair distance from the main fusebox (separate from the house), so with the cabling work involved, not worth it. You can only benefit from off-peak savings if you have a fast charger installed and the sums just don't add up for my usage.

Different gravy if I had a full EV of course, as I'd be entirely reliant upon it. 2024 RRS L461 P460e AB

Another question, I take it there is a separate battery for the internal combustion engine (or not??) & if the car is sitting for a while you can connect a Ctek to this battery to keep it charged up or does the plug in charger also feed this battery. Range Rover Sport: Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S

I believe there is a smaller than normal 12 volt battery to drive the instruments, lights, etc. 2023 P440e SE Dynamic on order -cancelled

The plug in charger feeds the main battery and that charges the 12v battery. No need for a CTEK on that if you are regularly charging the car.

Thanks for that, it's a lot clearer now. Like to know as much as possible about these leccy things before flicking the switch
Any other info, pitfalls or good things would be appreciated Range Rover Sport: Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe: 992 Porsche Carrera 4S
