Is a charging time of 9 hours and 15 minutes from 40% to 100% for my Punch EV with a 35 kWh battery, using a 3.3 kW home charger, considered longer than average in India?
For your Punch EV with a 35 kWh battery and using a 3.3 kW home charger, the charging time of 9 hours and 15 minutes to go from 40% to 100% seems typical. Here's why: Battery Size: Your Punch EV has a 35 kWh battery, and charging from 40% to 100% means you're adding about 21 kWh of energy (60% of 35Read more
For your Punch EV with a 35 kWh battery and using a 3.3 kW home charger, the charging time of 9 hours and 15 minutes to go from 40% to 100% seems typical. Here’s why:
Battery Size: Your Punch EV has a 35 kWh battery, and charging from 40% to 100% means you’re adding about 21 kWh of energy (60% of 35 kWh).
Charger Output: A 3.3 kW home charger will add about 3.3 kWh per hour to the battery.
So, charging 21 kWh with a 3.3 kW charger would take around:
21 kWh/3.3 kW ≈6.4 hours
But, charging times can be longer because of efficiency losses (usually around 10-20%), leading to about 7.5-9 hours, which matches your 9 hours and 15 minutes.
In India, this is normal for a 3.3 kW home charger. Faster home charging would require a more powerful charger, such as a 7 kW charger, which could cut the charging time roughly in half.

My Nexon has this issue where it shows the tire pressure (TPMS) error even after filling up air in all tyres.
Scroll through the options using the arrow button on the right side of the steering wheel until you find "Settings." Press OK, then scroll again to select "TPMS Reset."
