Before buying an electric vehicle, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the necessary on-board equipment to avoid “charging” problems or, to use a current term, “recharging”.

It is important to check that the electric vehicle is equipped with a battery charger with a “standard” connection, that is, suitable for extracting electrical energy directly from the ENEL network and therefore from the electrical outlet in our garage. If not, something is wrong and you should contact the seller.

This solution in the standard equipment installed in an electric vehicle allows the batteries to be charged anywhere with an electrical network. In fact, electric cars have other types of battery chargers. However, these do not allow to draw electricity from the electrical grid, but they need special adapters or they must be connected directly to the charging points in the service stations now available in the big cities. The ideal solution is to have a battery charger on board the car with a standard high frequency socket without the need to resort to external devices.

When considering an electric vehicle, it is necessary to examine the costs to be assumed for the energy required to power the battery pack. The models that allow you to reduce energy costs are definitely those that allow you to charge the batteries directly from the national domestic network. Generally, a full power charge for a complete set of traction batteries for vehicles that draw power directly from the mains does not cost more than 2 euros.

Vehicles equipped with a standard battery charger allow you to optimize the time spent at home to charge the batteries. In fact, on average, it takes 8 hours to fully charge a set of traction batteries. We recommend charging the entire set of batteries overnight, after the vehicle has been used during the day, along with the cheapest electricity tariff. It is also possible to charge the batteries for less time during the day for partial charges.

Partial charges do not give rise to problems that affect the runtime and / or the efficiency of the battery pack, since they are not subject to the memory effect. Precisely because they do not suffer from the memory effect, the set of batteries in electric vehicles has an average life of about 4 years.

A set of fully charged batteries from an electric vehicle allows for an uptime that varies between 70 and 100 km, depending on the model and configuration selected.
