There's no limit on what you can have going into your house, the limit is on what you can export to the grid.. you could have a 5Kw inverter, but have it set so it can only export 3.68Kw to the grid (on the fox ESS you can set whether you have G98 or G99 permissions, which limits the export side...

In an ICE car running the heater itself will not use any additional fuel (the heater circuit is fed off the water cooling circuit, which is running whether or not you draw heat) So is inconsequential in your MPG calculations (an ICE cars heating is technically always on.. you just shut the hot...

I make the same journey 4 days a week every week, and can confirm that winter range is definatly upon us now, the magic number seems to be at around 10°C... above that I get around 3.5 miles per kWh, below that I get around 2.6 Miles per kWh... around a 30 mile round trip, mostly motorway @70...

I find that neither the AC or the fan reduce the GOM range... what does reduce it quickly is the heater! Doesn't just affect the GOM either, its a real life reduction of 1m/kwh in range! noticed that over the last week where Ive been averaging 3.6m/kwh over the summer, now im down to 2.6m/kwh...

You should be seeing around 13.8v when the car is charging the battery, and above 12.6V when the battery has been stood more than 24 hours without use.. This would indicate a battery near 100% health... You should only really start worrying if after 24 hours your still loosing voltage. Around...

The 12Volt battery will read as 14.2v when the car is in Ready mode... this is the voltage the battery is charged at. If you want to see the real voltage ther are 2 options, 1.you can either take the car out of ready mode.. IE turn the car on without your foot on the break, so it turns on...

How lightly are you tapping the brakes to bring your car to a stop then??? Normal stopping pressure should be enough to disengage the drive, I find it only holds power when stopped if i stopped on a hill, and just like using a clutch on an ICE car the car is 'holding' its position waiting for...

Thats not the 'true' mileage, but a default setting (WLTP expected range), this will be the reading you get everytime you reset your trip counters... Your real estimate is what comes from your driving and this is what is shown when the trips arn't reset and the car has data about your driving...

Very True, whilst in an ideal world there would be a solution found to enable the KERS system to work in all curcumstances there will always be a need to provide an emergency breaking system of some kind that relies on a mechanical function rather than electrical, so I dont see your disc's and...

No your right.. Time is not a factor for cost of charging, it is the cost per Kwh, it doesnt matter how quickly or slowly you charge it will cost you the same amount.. If the battery is pre-heated if cold then it 'should' charge faster though.

The answer is simple, low resolution camera cost next to nothing, and provides the car with the information it requires for its safety systems, a higher resolution camera would cost more, and increase the cost of the car for negligible inprovment except providing you with a better picture...

I have just had an INDRA Smart Pro installed, seems to be very good, did it's first charge without issues, you can program you tariff rates into the app, so it charges at the cheapest rate it can, whilst making sure your battery is fully topped up (80% for my LR) and can use solar matching if...

Don't know about that, my dealer usually uses the lower spec SE cars for demo, I expect this trend will continue with the MG4, which is better really, as most sales are likley to be of the SE / SE LR around my area.

This is the second car I was offered in the space of 6 weeks.. I was offered the same car in White sometime in June. I suppose it could be that the dealer group have some cancellations, so there just offering them up the chain to the next customer waiting for that model. I've seen so many...

I get to pick up a nice shiny ZS EV Long Range SE on saturday (ordered in march) Had a phone call from the dealer last week to say he had one in black we could have (had ordered the blue) but had to wait for permission from his head office before it was a 'done deal'. As it's still the same...

Latest update - mine is due to arrive on 22nd Aug... Personally I wouldnt mind a bit of slippage to that so it ends up on a 72 plate :-) lol

As far as I understand so far the HV battery provides traction and heating whereas the 12v supplies all the accessories, lights, displays ect, so a dead HV shouldn't effect the ability to release the break as long as the 12v system is powered.. Same for using hazard lights ect, all should still...

Thanks for the tip ozzie, but I'm happy to wait till they have the car I want, but if I was in a hurry to get it i'd be hunting round every dealer I could.

Hi Everyone, Just ordered my ZS EV yesterday, been quoted a 3 to 5 month wait, which if true seems to be a 'fairly quick' turnaround at the moment, some other makes that I looked at were quoting 9 to 12 months.. I'm not in a rush, but after my test drive yesterday I hope it does turn up in the 3...
