Trip Planning in your e2008
Information and tips re charging your e2008
It's pretty important to know how and where you will charge your electric car. Charging at home is the most convenient, cheapest, and the best approach for your battery. It's like charging your mobile phone. When you get home, just plug in your car and in the morning it will be charged and ready to go! The other essential charging infrastructure is the DC fast-chargers. These enable longer trips and are part of a growing network. See this website for a map of charging locations and this website, where you can plan your trip between charging stations.
Please note: Our e2008 are imported from Japan. As such they feature a ChAdeMO DC fast charge port and the J1772 (Type 1) plug.
"Plugshare": Find all the chargers in the world!
As you drive your electric car you will become familiar with the local chargers and their location. If you need to plan a trip and see if the charger is compatible with your car, we recommend Plugshare. Its a searchable database of all available chargers. We recommend you create an account and enter in your car details. That way you can easily search the chargers that your car can use. Be a good Plugshare citizen and log in when you are charging, it helps the next people know the charger is working and available.
Home charging - EVSE
We supply an 8amp home 'Type 1' charger with the E2008. This will charge your car at around 10km of range per hour.
Destination charging
When you're out and about, there are quite a few locations with “destination chargers”. These all charge similar to a dedicated home charger. Most require you to bring your own "Type 2 to Type 1" cable. They are often installed as a “bollard” with charger integrated or mounted on a wall. The cost of these may be free (lucky you) or included in the parking charge at the location.
"A Better Route Planner" is awesome
There is also a website and App called "A Better Route Planner" Once you have entered your vehicle you can plot a journey on the map and it tells you the best places to stop and charge to get to your destination the quickest way you can.
Home charging - Type 2 charger
If you want to charge your car faster and reduce any chance of electrical issues, it makes sense to install a dedicated charger. Some even come with the ability to directly divert your solar power to your car when the sun is shining! These cost around $1000 for the charger and between $500-$1,000 to be installed by an electrician. These charges your car at rates up to 40km of range per hour (40km/h). It's best to get a charger installed that has a “type 2 socket” on the charger side. You then use a "Type 2 to type 1" cable that connects your car to the charger - Why - it future proofs your installation because it's easier to change a cable than a charger, it also allows you to use your cable at a public charging stations.
DC fast charging
DC fast-charger will charge the car at approx. 300km/hr. It uses the ChAdeMO fast charge system. In most locations, you need a dedicated phone app to access these chargers. Please note, the first 80% of charge with these is at full speed and then the charge rate slows down at the end. This protects the battery life, but may need to be factored into the time you spend at the charger.
