Yeah, but then the OBC would need to be a 5.760 kW to support 24 amps @ 240 volts.Pawl said:Okay, someone edify me, please.
For 120V charging the Spark EV two options: 8A and 12A. Could Chevy have configured two options for L2 as well? Say, 16A and 24A.
FutureFolly said:All OBCs will be limited by the current their rectifier can handle. At 3.3 kW that's only 13.75 A. The Volt is getting a bump to 3.6 kW so the Spark EV may as well. That means it will have able to handle a maximum of 15 A of current from 120-240V.
Pawl said:So...comparing 13.75A/240V to 12A/120V...the voltage has more influence on speed of charging than the amperage, yes? Must, since the charging time is halved from the one to the other.
