The price difference is due to the magnitude of the power output (variations on the 16 and 32 amperes), the type of charging installation (indoors or outdoors) and the length of the cord (3, 6 to 7 meters, 6 meters). Charging station with a nominal current of 32 amps per hour allows you to charge the electric vehicle to cover the distance of 40 kilometers to 16 ampere versions - a little over 19 kilometers. Thus, for charging electric cars to overcome 100 kilometers (assuming that the maximum electric power reserve at least 100 kilometers) to 16 ampere versions need a little more than 5 hours and 32 ampere - 2, 5:00.
