So, would you buy a used electric car?

What £1k grant for charging system? Thought it was just a 13 amp plug jobbie?

You can use a standard three pin plug with charging taking around eight hours.  With the wall mounted charging system you get a faster charge, around three hours.  The fastest chargers are found at commercial sites, such as motorway service stations and supermarket carparks.  These can give an 80% charge in as little as 30 minutes.

Come on, it's a BMW!  It'll be a Euro plug.... :))

Seriously though, you can have a 15kW charging system point installed (and a local power station at a guess!).
