Took my first flight in 9 months, on a day trip to Mumbai and back.
Parked the Kona at BLR airport, and used the ancient Mahindra charging points still kept operational somehow by the superb parking management team in @BLRAirport, free for use to EV owners. (1/3) Arrived at 7am with 2% left in the Kona, and plugged in my portable 7.2kW AC charger into the spare socket that Mahindra had thoughtfully installed 7-8 years ago.
Got a steady 3.5kW output with the 16A setting, and the charge to 80% was estimated to take 9.5 hours. (2/4)
