Hi Hasan

The grid voltage in Pakistan is 230V AC I believe.

Any 230V/240V 10Amp portable EVSE with a Type 1 plug should work.

These people sell one with a Type 2 plug, see if they have one with a type 1 plug:

If you want to match EV charge rate to PV output, there's also: https://store.openevse.com/collecti...ts/advanced-series-48a-level-2-nacs-assembled
Again, a min of 6A applies.

 

[martinwinlow]

Actually you can - just use 110V and it cuts the power to half while still 6A requirement is met.

Hi,

How do you actually do this with a European version of the i-MiEV/clone? Just supply 110VAC to the AC charge socket?

The Minicab EV (nice pictures btw) can be charged by both type 1 and type 2 EVSE equipped with an SAE J1772 (type 1) plug. The On Board Charger is rated at a max of 15A therefore a single phase EVSE with a power rating of 3.6kW is all you need.

Thanks for your advice

My van is 10.5 kwh so 3.5 kwh 15 amp will charge the batteries it takes how much time to full charge ?

 

[JoeS]

Your Minicab ac-dc onboard charger (OBC) will be the limiting factor as to how fast you can charge. Here in the US, using J1772 we see around 13A at 240vac or around 3.1kW. Your Minicab and its 10.5kWh battery would thus, worst case, take 10.5/3.1 = 3.4 hours to fully charge; however, since you never fully deplete the battery nor want to charge it to 100%, then figure a couple of hours for your daily use charging. How far do you plan to drive daily?

 

[Syed Rizvi]

Normally the van use as commercially daily driven is 200 km heavy trafficking in city commercials areas.

J1772 , 13 amp , 240 AC volt how much its going to cost us and from where i can get it ?

In Pakistan the AC voltage is 220 volts so i think the battery will charge slowly and time for full charge will be changed.

Please send us the pics for the charger.

Hello

See estimated charging times according to MINICAB manual:

Normally the van use as commercially daily driven is 200 km heavy trafficking in city commercials areas.

Heavy trafficking means low speed and will increase the range, from discussions below you could achieve 100km under optimal conditions before the car needs re-charging:

https://myimiev.com/threads/lithium-titanate-jdm-version.5114/

However driving 200km slowly takes time, 10h if assuming a low average of 20km/h, add another 4h (+4h overnight) to AC charge and it will be a long day.

The good news however is that the 10.5kWh battery seems to be very robust and has minimal degradation due to LTO chemistry, therefore it should be able to handle the suggested 500+ charging cycles per year.

If your van is equipped with CHAdeMON fast charging you could easily top it up within 15min, however that requires a compatible, public 50kWh EVSE nearby.

See discussion below with link to MINICAB manual (post. #6)
