This question relates specifically to Western Europe including all EU countries and the non-EU countries of Switzerland and Monaco.
Domestic electrical power supply in these countries is typically :-
Voltage : 220/240 volts at 50Hz. - Amperes for standard wall socket : 13amps fused. - Price per KWh : €0.15 (15 euro cents per KWh)
Assume that one is travelling with no particular destination. At the end of the day you decide to spend the night at a B&B (Bed and Breakfast). The B&B owner agrees to let you charge the PHEV from a standard wall socket. You have a weather-proof heavy-duty extension cable and the slow-charge power cable provided by Mitsubishi.
Q1. Is this a safe setup for both the B&B and the PHEV ? (assuming the owners dog doesn't chew the cable)
Q2. Do you need any other piece of equipment to ensure safe operation within the 13amp limit ?
Q3. What would be a fair price to pay the owner for the overnight battery-charge assuming the Li-ion needed a full top-up ?
Thanks
