One feature of London suburban streets is the availability of on-street EV charging, usually making use of street lighting to provide the power.
I was staying with family in Wimbledon in London and I decided to take advantage of the availability of the charger to charge the Funky Cat.
It is a slow charger just pushing out around 5 kWh, so this is a solution for when you have time to charge. There is a twelve hour limit for the charger I was using. Despite the slow speed, it’s not cheap, between 7am and 12pm it’s 60p kWh but overnight it falls to 40p which is better value.
I only used it for three hours getting 15.6 kWh. The real advantage was convenience, not having to drive somewhere to charge was a real bonus. Of course for local residents who don’t have a driveway, this is a solution for when you need a charge.
