Its only 13A if charging the car using the 3 pin domestic plug charger. If a type 2 charging box and cable is used, the T8 is capped at a 3.6kw/hour charge speed due to the 3.6kw on-board charger installed. Its alot quicker on a type 2 charge but still half the speed it could be if we could utilise the full 7.2kw's supplied by most type 2 wall boxes.
The new 18kw battery will take 4-5 hours to charge if its still only fitted with a 3.6kw on-board charger and much longer using the 13a domestic plug charging cable.
