Hi!

Has anyone got any experience with the 'Slow Charge' mode on the Cupra Born App?

It's supposedly meant to optimise battery life with slower charging however I can't find any information about it what charge rate it reduces chargers down to.

Don't want to try it out only to find out it takes 20 years to do a full charge.

Thanks!

Mine runs at about 2kW at slow rate, or about 6mph. So not quite 20 years, but from empty to full about 30 hours. Slower charging does improve battery life, but it's a marginal gain over perhaps a 7kW max home charge rate. If you're not in a rush, it's worthwhile - I use it.
