They've matched the readouts taken by mg at the service interval on this car and our MG ZS EV MK1 so no reason to not believe it

I'm at 12573mi and degredation reported by odb2 adapter is 5.4%

Sorry I'm not as regular on the forums as historically two young kids who demand attention 😂😂 EVSEs are required to be notified to the DNO in all situations. There are however two notification types, after the fact and prior. The after the fact notification is only permissible where all of...

The issue is once the battery case is compromised (even a small bend) no garage or insurance company will say it's safe to be driven in case it's not.

Could be the EVCC has failed, which is what controls all the handshakes and such between charges both AC and DC and the car

The bidirectional onboard charger is officially only rated for 2.2kW on V2L, and that is assuming unity power factor, what you'll find is as soon as you start adding reactive loads in a house basically electronics chargers the power factor goes pretty bad. In my home the power factor is around...

You have to ensure that your TT earth is completely separate from the DNO earthing and most not press any potential onto a DNO earth without the DNOs express permission. V2L is not designed to drive a full house and offers no protection afforded by true V2G systems. You must under the...

A guy at work had to wait 7months for a part for his Renault Koleos and that was only coming from France 😂

But that isn't what you originally stated in post 4, which is where I said that doesn't take into account losses, and then in post 7 you added that you took it to be only what was stored is what you believed he meant and I said I'd take it to be the total power used as an electrical engineer...

Theres a difference to what is put into the car which is the total power transferred from the supply to the car. To what is stored which is the power left after losses. The OP asked to know how he could record what was put into the car, which would be total power. It's akin to kVA Vs kW when...

Where as an electrical engineer I'd take it to be what was actually put into the car not what it stored

This doesn't account for losses in the car as it will only show what's in the pack not what's lost at the conversion point in the obc

It's rare in the UK as we have generally high powered single phase connections in comparison to our European counterparts.

Looped neutrals only normally exist where it's a 3ph head that enters a building and the. It's been utilised as 3 seperate 1ph connections. Or it's a block of flats with a BNO (building network operator) opposed to a DNO. Not sent them on a house before.

I'm on looped supply, still doesn't preclude a smart meter

What's unique about the house as mine is from 1923 service cut out is smack bang in the middle of the house under the stairs and I have a smart meter that works fine

Any update can go wrong or not install correctly

The reason why dealers ask for more time than needed is incase it all goes sideways and they have to try and fix a car after something goes wrong.

Had my car updated to R33 today, and noticed that now when reversing the distance to the object it is picking up at the rear is displayed in the reversing screen

Depends, for example Aldi units are connected to the stores supply, so share it with the supermarket. So if the store has a 400A (276kVA) 3ph supply and the store gets near to its connection limit they will throttle the chargers, much like domestic installs.
