    yup just planning a 2EV life. A cheap one 35KW battery and a big one 95KW battery. The latter seems to take ages to charge even on a 7kw charger let alone a 3.6 one


    Great, glad we finally got there. Now, unless you do mega mileage, you won't be fully charging these two cars every day. How long you spend charging doesn't depend on the size of your battery, it depends how empty it is. What cars have a 35kWh and 95kWh batteries?

    An Ioniq and a Model X, for example?

    Excellent. So how many miles do you expect to do in each of them, to justify the expense of installing 2 chargers. You could install 1 7kW charger, and use a 3-pin charger for the other car, for far less money.
    I reiterate - this isn't really about the cars, it's about how far you drive - how far will your 2 cars go, every day? That's the amount of charging they need, not empty to full every day.
