[QUOTE="Paul2129, post: 495653, member: 29107"] might be my mistake, it's 16Amp ? it's the fastest charge the Vauxhall Ampera can take, and there is a reason though, I think the mobile lead that I've been using is about 2.4kW, it's a bit of a pain as it requires you to change a setting in the car to 10amp every time you want to charge (I think it's supposed to be a safeguard because it doesn't want to stress your plug socket, it defaults back to 6Amp next time you drive, its a proper pain) so firstly a proper wall mounted charger avoids this settings change, the car knows it's safe to draw 16amp from the wall charger and it also charges around 50% faster than I can get from the standard plug socket.
