Home charging - confused!

[Fendoch]

Not sure what sort of doors your garage has but I'd be amazed if you can fit the charger on the inside of that central pillar :shock:

As others have said, with the charge port being on the RHS of the car, you'll either have to put the charger at the back on the left and reverse in, or put up with the cable trailing across the back of the car.

Great set of numberplates BTW!

Hi m8

Just been out and checked the width of the Rolec 32 amp tethered unit I have and it's 9 1.2 inches including the cable wrapped around.
Looking at the gents garage door pillar at the bottom it looks like the width of the pillar is around 12 inches as the bricks on the floor should be at least 3-4 inches each
So in my mind the Rolec unit should fit perfectly on the inside of his pillar and take away the worry of reversing in. As someone else said the problem may be where the power is coming from rather than where the charging station is going to be.

I have been and measured the gap between the garage doors (we live an exciting life lol!) and it's about 11 inches so probably an option but now concerned about how to get power to it.

How can I find out if this is a problem - would Rolec / BG come and do a survey before I placed an order as feel I need to make sure I haven't got an issue before ordering the car.

Hi m8

I am sure they will, you may be better trying charge master which is the same unit that BG deals with. Some others on here seem to have had better service from them.

In any case, don't let it put you off buying this great car, you will always have the charging unit that comes with the car.......and I am sure you will have a 13 amp socket in your garage....which this needs. the only thing is it takes about 5 hours to charge this way LOL
