Is 2.8 kW enough for everyday use?

For most people, yes. Ten hours at 2.8 kW gives around 28 kWh, roughly 160 km at typical consumption. Danish drivers average just under 40 km a day, so a single night on the socket covers three to four days of driving. With a plug-in hybrid, 2.8 kW fills the battery several times over in one night. 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. Every EV on sale has an onboard charger rated well above 2.8 kW, so the socket sets the pace, not the vehicle, and the charger delivers 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.
