A granny charger cable is short anyway, so put an ev charger in just refuse the load. And use a 10m lead.

From the top of my head ,as I cannot find my sheet of values a 32Amp lead is 200ogms a 16 amp is 600ogms. I brought down a lead to work how I wanted it too. But now even better a zappy I don't have that smart feature that's why I altered my leads.

I suppose many hundreds of thousands of people cannot hook up to an ev charger. If anyone has an ev charger change the resistors in the plugs to suite your requirements.i have set up a lead on my ev charger to accommodate poor solar light in winter giving me 2.7 KW if power from my 7.4kw ev...

I totally understand, and the idea of sellers and manufacturers selling gear which is not fit for purpose is not acceptable . eBay sellers sell cheap unsafe products , but people buy with our any consideration .

We have recently seen electricians fitting ev chargers and not only have they videoed there work but fitted incorrectly. So yes your right it's not only diyers it's qualified electricians. If you want to stop sales to public then let's stop selling brake pads and steering components to anyone...

What battery's are you using to make up your 16kw. I have a small hybrid system and I am only playing with it .I only have 4 x 12 130amph leasure battery's . However I have decided to buy a v2g ev charger and my intention is to use this, not bother with power walls or other battery's but utalise...

After 6 years I have got another 2 years to go untill it's paid me back. If my battery goes bad now I will be out of pocket. On third battery and now our of warranty.

That has really got it down. But what is the pay back for your complete system . What is the total cost of this install.

The growat dash board is a life saver. As said you can get a understanding about what is or has happened. I take it your CT clamp is working correctly . I just had an issue on a off grid system I installed and I I knew it was not working by using my dash board and not the off grid info. It...

I remember a film called Logans run. Once you got to 30 you were out.

You can run 1300w heater on battery's , but it's all at a cost and type of battery. Lead acid can be used but you should not use more than 50% where lithium batterys you can but they are a huge cost. Then you have the equipment like solar and hybrid inverters which add to this cost then you have...

I would keep hold of your old boiler , your system will drain those battery's running a heat pump. I have battery's and when you have loads the battery does not last well. I would possibly look at working both electric and gas together. I have decided for myself not to dump my gas boiler but to...

Some inverters manufacturers recommend using not a 30ma but 100ma worth checking . Specially older versions . In which case you would prob need to add a another cu for that new circuit.

Your correct, it's the time it takes to charge , find working fast chargers and the cost per kWh .

I have an 8kw system and they did want an upgrade and it cost me £370 ish , they did not do any upgrades lol.

Nothing stopping you from doing your own system. I would just advise asking an electrician to check it over. Check wiring and it's protection. I had a professional company fit mine and they did it wrong. We have electricians and plumbers buying brakes and steering components for cars that's...

Huge smiles on my face this time of year. Free ev charging home battery's charging to 100% everyday, and a lovely fit payment.

I agree, not bad figures. Your winter poor light months will depress you.

It's a fantastic subject and lots of good DIY ers want to know more. Sharing love to share my experience and welcome any question stupid or not. It matters not so ask away.

I as well had a company fit a system for me and they had a fantastic write up and showing all there professional bodies they belonged too. And they did the same to me . I had to replace a 20amp for a 40amp as mine did more or less the same. I was a bit upset in the fact that I was paying for...
