UK power consumption at different i3 settings

[Bunter]

The link below is to a graph showing the power consumption of the i3 at the 3 different charging rates using the standard 13 amp charger.

The car was put onto charge at roughly 20:00 in very similar states of charge. The graphs aren't 100 % accurate as far as time goes as graphing different nights data, over midnight with different data intervals is a swine to get right in Excel. For instance the low setting graph actually ends at 07:00 like the others but because it has less data points it looks like the data finishes at 05:00ish. But the amplitude is OK and it illustrates the difference between rates (est. 1.4 kw on low, 1.8 kw on red and 2.3 kw on max)

Also the next link is to a graph of my first attempt to fit the charging rate to the available power from our solar PV array. The data is very spiky (we were at home doing domestics ) but you can see the step changes between charging rates as I try to use our surplus.

Hope this is interesting for someone

This is great posting.. your graphs tell a lot of stories... keep gating data. When mine arrived I will do the same. Neil.
