Home-charging reality
What the kW number means overnight.
- Standard power point · 10 hours
- About 115 km added using an assumed 18 kWh/100 km
- 7 kW single-phase · 10–80%
- Single-phase charge rate or battery capacity unverified
- 11 kW three-phase wallbox · 10–80%
- Three-phase charge rate or battery capacity unverified
- DC fast charge · 10–80%
- Comparable time not verified
- AC cable included
- Confirm with the seller for this exact variant
- Home charger allowance
- Plan roughly $1,500–$3,000 installed, then obtain a site-specific quote
These are planning estimates using a 10-hour overnight window and charging losses. Switchboard work, cable length, phase supply and controlled-load arrangements can change installation cost.

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit
Not tested - yet.
Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.
The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
