same as me. Biggest frustration with the 45e is the slow charge rate. If it was faster i would definitely get a wall box but there's so little benefit.
Agreed. 7 hours compared to about 10 hours on an overnight didn't seem worth it for me. But appreciate everyone's needs are different.

I have solar panels so am looking forward to the sunshine months in the Uk to really exploit the free energy 👍🏽
