Thanks Nick. When did they tell you it would be delivered?

I’m weighing up the MG4 against the Smart #1.

Interesting - thanks for posting that as I hadn't noticed it

That's what I was querying at Post 11.

There's also this https://v2g.co.uk/2017/06/can-v2g-improve-ev-battery-life/

To be honest - I don't know as I'm not an electrician - but one of the claimed advantages of Vehicle to Grid is that Vehicles can be used to balance the grid - so what I'm proposing should be possible - but until I've spoken to someone about it in detail I can't confirm for sure. However, I...

Thanks - yes I will. My idea/hope was that the car could be charged up to a certain level; say 50%; during the day and then anything over that I could sell to the Grid. If I then needed to do a long journey I'd just charge it with Solar. So the plan is not to use the Grid to charge the car...

Cheers. I was thinking about using the car too act as storage and feed into the grid at peak times; hence reduce the payback period of the solar panels. In other words use the Car in exactly the same why a battery would be used on a battery solar system. I had quotes for £6k Solar Only, £10k...

Hmmm...I'm interested in this as I was thinking that if I got an EV with Vehicle to Grid, then rather have to spend £4-5k on a separate Solar Battery I'd just plug the car in and use that to store excess energy - on the basis that I usually catch a train into work and my wife doesn't drive - and...

These kind of decals - but perhaps in gold for the Orange version - bring back the 80’s 🙂

I haven’t driven a RWD EV. However, I have driven a RWD ICE in the snow and it was terrible until I put a bag of soil in the back. I also recall in the 80’s watching an Opel Manta (RWD) struggle to make it down our road in the snow, whilst a FWD Vauxhall Cavalier make it no problem. But as I...

Yeah, I'm sort of like that. However, I think it should be pointed out that a FWD ICE is better in the ICE because its engine sits over its front wheels. In a EV the motor is significantly lighter - so the benefit won't be the same - although at the end of the day, with RWD, the rear wheels are...
