24.13 Addressing Paused and Delayed Charging

What this episode covers

The ADAC has conducted research into energy losses when charging electric cars. This research shows that losses can amount to up to 30%, depending on the charging method. When using a standard power socket, losses can amount to up to 24%, while a specially constructed charging box (wall box) can reduce losses to below 10%. The study emphasises the importance of using efficient charging equipment and smart charging methods to minimise energy losses. Smart charging, where vehicles are charged during periods of low electricity prices and low grid load, can also help to reduce the total energy losses and costs of charging electric cars.
