Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to charge a DFSK at home?
The spot price changes every 15 minutes and the night-time network fee is lower than the daytime one. The calculator prices every 15 minutes of charging at the final price of that time and finds the cheapest continuous slot before the charging window ends.
Example: a Seres 3 uses 7.8 kWh from the battery for a 40 km drive. With a 12% charging loss, charging takes 8.8 kWh from the meter. Charging the battery from 20% to 80% takes 34 kWh from the meter, or over five hours with a 6.6 kW charger. 6.6 kW, though, needs a 32 A single-phase supply — from a regular 3×16 A wallbox a Seres 3 gets 3.7 kW and the same charge takes over nine hours.
The Seres 3 charges from a single phase only, at up to 6.6 kW. From a regular 3×16 A wallbox it gets 3.7 kW.
Battery and consumption data for the models come from EV Database.
What time is it cheapest to charge a DFSK electric car at home?
It depends on the day, because the spot price changes every 15 minutes. The calculator shows today’s and tomorrow’s cheapest time from the published prices. At night the Võrk 2 and Võrk 4 network packages have a lower network fee.
Does my Seres 3 charge at 6.6 kW or 11 kW?
The Seres 3 has a single-phase 6.6 kW charger. It does not charge from three phases: from a regular 3×16 A wallbox it gets 3.7 kW.
Does a 22 kW wallbox make charging faster?
The Seres 3 charges from a single phase at up to 6.6 kW: it gets 3.7 kW from a 3×16 A wallbox and 6.6 kW from a 22 kW (3×32 A) one.
Does the price include the network fee?
Yes. The price is the final price: spot price, seller’s margin, network fee, electricity excise, renewable energy fee and VAT. You can choose your own package and contract in “My settings”.
Do I have to charge at the maximum current?
No. At a lower current charging takes longer, but the kWh are the same and the calculator looks for a longer cheap window. With a small main fuse (for example 20 A), a lower charging current leaves room for the rest of your home. You can set the charging current (5–32 A) in the calculator. An electrician can tell you what suits your main fuse.
