    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    I did suggest to Bobby Lew that they should invite Mr Macmaster, along with his sidekick Geoff, to a Fully Charged Show. I’m sure a discussion in one of the theatres with Bobby and, say, Euan Mcturk, would be very lively. 😁😁😁

    Fully Charged Show Farnborough

    “Harrogate is much nicer than Farnborough... :)” I agree as I’m originally from Harrogate, but have lived down south for 30+ years. However the traffic can be just as bad as down here, especially on the Wetherby Road where the show site is!!! 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘

    Fully Charged Show Farnborough

    Yes, I was there yesterday. As you say, the parking was in a grass field - not sure what state that’ll be in if it rains again. However I thought the actual parking process was so much easier than the last couple of years where we’ve queued for over an hour to get into the site. Anticipating the...

    Swapping a home charge point

    Our son has a Rolec charge point at his home which is about 6 years old and becoming a bit intermittent. I have just had solar panels fitted which involved having my home charger replaced by a Zappi. I have given him our old PodPoint Solo which is only about 3 years old. A local electrician...

    Do I change tariff?

    Panels should be 6.4kWp and an 8.2kWh battery.

    Do I change tariff?

    All being well, we should be having a roof full of solar panels, home battery & hot water solar diverter fitted next week. In addition we currently have an MG ZS EV. I was on a reasonably cheap energy tariff with EDF until the end of June (hoping to have had my system installed by then) but am...

    Fully Charged 2022

    Went to Fully Charged in Farnborough today (Friday). The queue to get in was as bad as last year. We joined the end of the traffic queue at around 10:00 am, it was 11:30 before we were in the show!!! I wanted to talk to someone about improving the use of energy in our home and booked a chat...

    Home Storage Battery

    I was mainly concerned about the temperature variations of mounting either in the loft, or outside. I’m aware that PVs don’t work that well in a loft,!!😁😁😁😁

    Home Storage Battery

    Getting seriously interested in the whole PV / battery situation and hope to be having some discussions at Fully Charged in a couple of months. Quick question for those in the know. Does the equipment have to be sited indoors? Can it be mounted outside or in the loft?

    Fully charged show at Farnborough part1

    I was there on Friday and as you say, the traffic getting in was an absolute nightmare. The show opened at 10:00 and I hit the back of the queue at around 10:15. It took me another hour to do the last mile into the car park!!! However, I do think it was worth it and really enjoyed the day. I...

    What car did you replace with your MG?

    I bought my ZS EV as a replacement for a Porsche Boxster. Had it for 6 years and throughly enjoyed it. However, a back injury meant it was getting more & more difficult to get in & out, especially in tight parking bays. Also, the arrival of grandchildren meant we had to have something suitable...
