    Moving to Octopus - current situation?

    Agile yes, i believe; Intelligent, no (neither car nor HV are 'compatible', i.e. the Octopus software cannot interface with either the SAIC API or the HV API). If you've been following the FBook threads related to this, you'll have seen that HV are hoping to fettle their software to be able to...

    Will NACS win (eventually)?

    It's Kithmo's comment that i was thinking along: Separation of 400/800V dc from 1p/3p ac courtesy separate physical wiring (per ccs2) sounds like a no-brainer compared to the system reliability/safety risks of switched pins (per nacs), however it would be interesting to see the fmeca/etc and...

    Buying an EV Beware and watch this first

    if the fellow was as 'on it' as a utube poster might be expected to be, he might have sold his value-increased car a year-ish ago while prices were stupidly (but obviously temporarily) over-cooked, and made a profit, which he could then have offset against the almost certain future losses as...

    Home Wall Charger

    Per smokie, Jomarkh: Octopus, like many suppliers, are probably rather marginal on profit (or perhaps loss-making) on the currrent (sorry) daytime supply rates; but they'll take an ev owner as you (or, preferably, your car battery) are somewhere for their overnight/off-peak energy to go when...
