Hmmm... surely that would result in him getting stuck at work on Wednesday, without the other car to drive home in :unsure:

Moorgate would probably be best avoided too :(

(y) re ^^^^. But I disagree with these two... For any grid-tied inverter than can output more than 16A at the nominal 230V (i.e. 3680W), G99 approval is required from the DNO prior to installation. Depending on your local supply wiring and existing micro-generation taking place locally, the...

I liked GP (the Guinea Pig) the most... talking of TV, how about... Patch and Petra on Blue Peter, with Peter Perves, John Noaks and Valarie Singleton? ( the common kids from the other side of the village watched Magpie instead!) Jon Pertwee as Dr Who Top Cat Marine Boy Magic Roundabout (of...

DNO's only limit export power, not energy as such. Watts or kiloWatts (kW) is a measure of (instantaneous) power; Watts = Volts x Amps. Joules, Watt-hours or, more commonly, kilo-Watt-hours (kWh) is a measure of energy. Energy = Power x time. They are related, but totally different...

I'm pretty sure he's correct.... as he's installing a 5kW inverter ;)

@Gomev, I understand the price caps - I was asking @Ian Key about how much the EV (i.e. overnight) rate had gone up, that he was alluding to in post #5.

Not in @Gadget Geek's case, but we are limited by DNO as to the amount we can export, so we both export and charge the EV for free on a sunny day :)

I think LiFePO4 chemistry can actually discharge at a higher C rate than NMC. Their flatter voltage curve should also helps sudden discharge applications. They are, of course, heavier per kWh than the equivalent NMC cells; which is why many manufacturers prefer NMC - but BYD seem happy using...

(y)... but only practical "up here" for about 6 months over the summer :(

What actual rates are the current vs. expect reduction in April vs. the new price you are referring to? Are we talking like 15p per kWh vs. 7p or something not as drastic?

Or IMHO, more could well be an issue with earthing checks being made by the vehicle being charged - i.e. if there is no N-E bonding on the V2L output that could cause a "no-earth" condition being detected. Does the e-Niro report the reason for failure anywhere?

The OP's returned it over a year ago ;)
