Range Rover P550e - Charger / Cable Options (3 Phase Supply)

[vdn]

I have a P550e on my drive, as of yesterday. I've avoided anything EV or hybrid until now and I'm naive to what's what.

I think I want an untethered charger installed at home (so I can choose a short length cable as the car will be next to the charger and 5 metres is unnecessary). I plan on leaving the wall side plugged in (as though it were tethered) and just unplugging if need be (away on holiday etc).

My home has a 3 phase supply and I'm told to take advantage... but I'm unsure what that entails and whether the battery will be affected in any way using anything other than a 'normal' charger.

I've also read plug-in hybrids should be dealt with differently to full EV's and if that's so, what should be looking for / avoiding, charger and cable wise?

Any help / tips appreciated.

A 3 phase charger is a normal charger, just ~ 22kW instead of 7. It’ll still probably be a much lower charge rate than the car is designed to handle from public chargers.

When we had our charger installed, Andersen had by far the nicest looking, most subtle, chargers (range of facials, concealed cable storage, etc). With theirs you can also just unroll whatever length of cable you need.

May well be other options that do all that now.

We are collecting our 3rd P460e this week, and have always managed with just the granny charger, unless you are away from home all day and using all the charge before returning I have found the 13amp plug in one is more than ample, it puts back about 20ish miles in a midnight to 0700 hours charge, which is our cheap rate tariff

I don't know how big the battery is on a P550 but guessing around 30kWh. So even on a regular single phase charger it will charge from 0 to 100% in a little over 4 hours.

Worth confirming that the car can accept 22kw AC. I assume it can but not all cars do.

Thank you all... I'm actually happy to charge at the lower, normal, 7kw rating. It's just that the advice seems to be to install a multiphase charger capable of anything up to 22kw. Future proofing things in the process.

I'm looking at the following multiphase options (that seem to offer all sorts of choices on charging):
