Absolutely I am using 32A commando for my EV charger and have recommended interlocked commandos on here on many occasions. (y) but if there is a BS1363 socket and plug-with-no-fuse in that circuit, I don't think that would be compliant with BS7671.

It made it look worse though, as previously mentioned :( https://www.mgevs.com/threads/x-power-in-sport-mode.20185/post-379054

It would be safer just to not have a fuse, but to connect the granny to a radial circuit protected by a 10A MCB.... though obv not BS7671 compliant :(

That's a good rate for those of us that need to charge up home storage batteries over winter (y)

Shell V-Power is 99, I think. There used to be V-Power Racing in Europe at 100 Octane if you want to spend even more money go even faster !

sure... search on the many posts I have made that contain the word "BS1363". The issue over 6+ years, as you mention, is that EV batteries are bigger now than the common 20kWh-40kWh sizes that existed before 2020, so charge times are longer and heat is more of an issue. Never use an extension...

From my recent experience and numerous postings on sparky forums, I'd say it's no longer the go-to brand for quality products. Interesting - I recently fitted a CED Axiom CU for EV charging distribution and was impressed how well it was made - it was far from the cheapest though. (y) 10A is...

Which all goes to prove that "Good fuel costs less at Sainsbury's" ;)

Is there anything @siteguru doesn't know?

OK, I didn't mean increase the SOC to which the battery is charged, I meant a release of top buffer to keep the apparent SOH higher. From what I have read about on the Internet (so it must be true!!) some manufacturers, e.g. Tesla and VW for example, have algorithms to make some of that...

Maybe they don't need 6 years cover in NI, because all the EV's are purchased under the Motability scheme and replaced before they get grubby ;) (only kidding)

Sorted... https://teckwrapukofficial.uk/tangerine-orange-cg40-hd-vinyl-wrap/

This is all a bit academic really, though not that academic from a scientific point of view. We first need to establish what SOH is intended to mean and how it should be measured. In my opinion, SOH should be a representative figure for how good the battery's maximum capacity is now, compared...

Sounds like a good plan - it will look in keeping with the extra 8 panels that you snuck onto his roof (y)

My eyesight seems to be deteriorating :(
