On a standard 10 A power point, a 10-hour night adds about 129 km (about 49% of a 42 kWh battery); on a dedicated 15 A outlet, about 194 km. A 20→80% top-up of the Hyundai Inster (standard battery) takes about 12.2 hours on 10 A or 8.1 hours on 15 A.

Notes for Inster owners
- A small city car with a small battery: exactly the kind of EV a 10 A power point suits best.
- A 10-hour night on 10 A adds about half the battery, so a typical city week needs only a few nights plugged in.
- Plug straight into the wall. No extension leads, powerboards or adapters, and ideally use an outlet on its own circuit.
