    EV charging still got a Looong way to go..

    Good morning has anyone played with v2g chargers using the chademo connector. I have seen this bidirectional chargers at about £3k . At the end of the day if you can tap off the 400vdc battery I was thinking of using an solar inverter as a solution.

    Which EICR tests cannot be done with a 6 in 1?

    You only obtain that experience by doing the job, sooner or later you have to go it alone and you will come across all sorts of problems which you would never see in a colledge test board. If you have colleges or friends who are electricians don't feel imbarrised to ask questions if you have any...

    Air Source Heat Pump Grant

    Check out YouTube heat geek they really push how the are 600% efficient. May be in warmer conditions. I find it hard to quite understand how people want all there homes to run 100% on electric.

    Electric Vans - Range

    Your spot on Murdoch. We have EVs but we would not dream of selling our diesel. I would be hugely concerned with the reports I am reading about power cuts , bassed just that alone as a buisnes can you afford not to go to work due to your electric van not having enough charge.

    Playing the Devils Advocate for a bit.

    You cannot win , if you do go total off grid then you need to look at what you use and reduce everything. I my self have a 12 KW gen as a stand by and last weekend I actually experimented . I charged my ev with a load of 6.6 KW using my generator. Red diesel is now £129 per litre and with...

    DIY solar battery storage

    When you say porch is it a brick built. Make sure it's not a uPVC porch as they get rather hot and your equipments life can be reduced. I had my first system placed in the loft. I would never advise a loft unless you make sure the equipment is well ventilated specially in summer months.
