I wanted to pick the brains of the hive mind so I don't look like a donkey at the charging stations.
What are my options while out and about? Say for example is plugging in for an hours shopping going to give me a "fast charge"? Or should I just save it for home/work charging?
And what are my limitations on current?
I would like to put a weatherproof mains connection to plug in the supplied "variable" current charger out back of my house, but I'm not 100% sure what the max could be.
I must say, I'm impressed with it. Going from a 215bhp xc70 d5 to this "290bhp" rocketship, I'm loving it's perks.
The criticisms of it being a heavy barge when thrown around appear false (they've never driven an XC or a 940 I guess)
But the seating position certainly hurts the feet because you can't put them in a comfortable position.

I also have a 2017 model year D6, I use the 3-pin plug charger at home and a single phase type-2 in work to charge. It will only charge at a max rate of 16amps on a type-2 cable, takes around 3 hours.
Max on the 3-pin home charger is 10 amps, so slightly slower, approx 4.5 hours.
Nice buy with 50k miles though, almost new!
