How Charging Works In GridGap

The Charging tab translates battery replacement demand into a practical charger size and recharge window interpretation.

Energy to replace

Energy to replace summarizes the battery energy the charging system needs to put back. That same burden may later be addressed partly by utility charging, partly by shore power, or partly by solar depending on the scenario.

Charger recommendations

Minimum charger W and minimum charger A show the lower bound. Recommended charger W and recommended charger A are the more practical planning values under the current assumptions.

Charge-hour interpretation

Grid charge hours is the available charging window from utility input. For RVs and boats, users can often think of this as the available grid / shore power charging window. Grid recharge time shows how long the recharge is expected to take under the current assumptions.
