    Thank you,yes absolutely agree that it's kinder to the battery and it's general long term health

    And probably gentle on your battery too. I fully endorse your video and the cable feeding the socket look good and clearly good quality.

      I use the same idea with my two ev’s. I do have an inline type A power breaker (rated at 13A) for extra protection though.

    The 13 A plugs in the granny chargers have temperature sensors in them and will shut off the charging if they get too hot.

      Some do, but I'm not sure they all have temperature sensors. The Chinese often cut costs.

    We have been using granny charger to charge x2 EV for over 5 years, never had a problem with overload etc

    Yes your supply should be more than adequate for a granny charger.

    I'm considering a Kia EV3. I'm in Australia and have a 20 amp circuit in my garage (which was previously used for some heavy duty photo processing machines). We're 240 volt mains. Is a granny charger safe and practical on this circuit?

    You cant get 16A from a 13A socket...

      A 'Granny charger' only draws 10A max so 2.4Kw, perfectly OK if the circuit/socket is in good condition.

      Yes I agree, what I failed to mention is that there is a 13 amp fused connection unit feeding the supply to the socket.

      Yes you can , especially if it's on a ring main, whether you should is a different matter !

    What the heck is a granny charger? Are grandparents electric these days?
