Home Charging Explained
A 7 kW home wallbox is the most common home charging setup. It uses a single-phase 32A connection or a three-phase connection at lower amperage. For most drivers, this is all you need. Plug in when you get home, wake up to a full battery.
The Opel Corsa Electric accepts up to 11 kW AC, so it can use the full 7 kW from your wallbox. At this rate, you add about 38 km of range every hour. For a typical daily commute of 40-60 km, you only need 1-2 hours of charging.
AC charging is gentler on the battery than DC fast charging. There is no charging curve to worry about. The car charges at a steady rate from empty to full. Overnight home charging is the cheapest and most convenient way to keep your EV topped up.
