just keep hold of them until you really want to change. evs will usually last a lot longer than an ICE vehicle. technologically its still ahead of most ice vehicles anyway.

September. I would say its a reliable eta as the chip issue they suffered from was relating to the fancy pixel lights. polestar resolved the issue by putting standard LED lights and reducing the pack price by £850. would have preferred the pixel lights but meh. No. I had looked at them when...

ordered LR Trophy connect on the week of launch and last time a checked a few weeks ago dealer told me they have no updates and as soon as they do they will let me know. Sick of whoever is taking the piss out of me. The way things are going i honestly can't see them getting the car before the...

That's utterly insane. Spoke to my favourite salesman at the local nissan dealer yesterday. They are expecting test models of the Ariya in may. will try it out and if they can turn it around reasonably quickly i will buy that instead. pcp ends in july so am likely going to end up settling the...

You are looking at your own figures there and not my own. If anything I think we need more storage to manage our demand, but I'm starting with 8.3 kwh givenergy. In summer yes we would have a solar surplus but not as much as you might think. Our normal base load with just basic equipment on...

How? During the day much of the solar would be exported back to the grid if I'm not charging the car as we don't use much compared to evenings. Most of the year we would be cooking from grid energy too as we tend to eat a little later than most. Our peak usage is evenings, and then when we put...

are they making 3's there or just y's for now?

fair enough in your case. im just speaking from my own experience. go and have a look on any social media platform though at people slating ev's, solar etc. green tech has been politicised so a lot just reject now without reason.

there are 9 of us in the house and we homeschool the kids whilst i work from home now. large fridge freezer, mechanical heat recovery in the loft, small aquarium. base load is around 300 to 400 watts.

we went to the dealers last sunday and they were open and honest and said they had no update. every day they log in and get an estimated date that is put back 1 day every time they log in. every now and again they get a date change to a proper date. have to spend big money on an expensive pcp...

sorry to say this but most people who don't have proper insulation are in that position because they refused it when it was very cheap and subsidised, or free! I know that from my own experience selling insulation. The amount of stupid crap I have heard is astounding. Still going on today with...

Zappi uses spare solar generation to trickle charge the car. say i'm producing 3kWh, and house is using 0.5kWh, then the charge rate would be 2.5kWh. I wouldn't always charge this way. More than happy to zap the car up quickly at night on octopus go. Same with battery, if it can't charge via...

Only one in reasonable travel distance to me has given me quotes (5 in total) so I'm likely to accept one of those. Still awaiting eon though but looking at their price guidance and what they can offer I'm likely to accept one of the quotes issued. Leaning towards 4.4 kWp setup consisting of...

arming the other side isn't going to force Russia to stop. This is their last gasp at securing themselves from NATO. It's just bleeding Ukraine and Russia dry. Will work out fine for the west, we will sweep in for the oil and gas reserves when its over and both nations will accept anything.

been looking at both ev6 and ioniq5 and on pcp they arent massively more expensive than the mg. ill contact the mg dealer this week and if i dont have any firm timescale for delivery will see what hyundai or kia can do. taking the p1ss now.
