Is 1.4 kW enough for everyday use?

For many drivers, yes. Ten hours at 1.4 kW gives around 14 kWh, roughly 80 km at typical consumption. Danish drivers average just under 40 km a day, so a single night on the socket covers about two days of driving, and charging every night keeps up with average daily use. With a plug-in hybrid, one night at 1.4 kW is enough to fill the battery on many models. If you drive long distances daily, a wallbox is the right choice, and this charger is still the one that lives in your boot.

Your car is not the limiting factor here. Onboard chargers in current EVs and plug-in hybrids are rated well above 1.4 kW, so the charger's fixed 6 A sets the pace, and you get the same output regardless of what you drive. Expect somewhat less range per session in hard frost, since part of the energy goes to warming and conditioning the battery rather than filling it. Scheduling the session in the app so it finishes close to your departure time helps here: the car comes off the socket with a warm battery, which improves both range and comfort on the first few kilometres.
