Seems you're not having much luck with the 'reply' feature on here either ;) (ah, fixed now)

What issues do you have with AC charging at home?

It probably had a Daewoo badge then ;)

Older or maybe higher mileage depending on how many miles you are going to add. The battery warranty is for 100,000 miles or 8 years, btw. We looked into those too. FWIW, we decided against them for 3 reasons. 1) The Niro and, IIRC, Kona too are based on ICE vehicles and available as...

not enough range (real world) IMHO

Very happy with my ID.3 (58kWh) that I believe meets all those requirements. Family (instead of Life) spec gives you really nice matrix lights, which are perfect for us oldies. Realistic range 200 winter / 230+ summer. ID.4 available for less too, but probably too big for you.

Agree with the principle, especially the P.S.. But even if you have all those proposals in place, the rapid charging companies will still have costs to meet, loans to pay off and staff to pay and need to make a profit, so will not be able to sell their services for the cost price of electrons.

Not really. If there is nowhere for the power to go an inverter will reduce its solar input. In your case, with your 9kWp of panels, then when your batteries are low SOC, the inverter is likely to be able to put 5kW into the battery and still export 4kW (less house load) - so using all 9kW of...

Then someone would need to subsidise the companies providing the rapid charging services, that everyone pays for, even if they don't have an EV or need to charge away from home.

Working on it... do you have home storage battery and do you have any export power limitations?

Why should it be? Companies need to rent land, buy very expensive equipment, build buildings, install and maintain it, employ staff, make a profit. I don't expect to go out to a restaurant and pay the same price that the ingredients would cost in Tesco 🤷‍♀️

Do you grow much chocolate in Australia :unsure:

That's consistent then (as we're both in East Anglia) - we have 4 times your capacity. Still not enough though at this time of year! :rolleyes:

I read on the news that it's easy to get through security at these Royal Residences 🤷‍♀️

Well, IMHO, Cupra is a Seat, DS is a Citroen, Genesis is a Hyundai, Lexus is a Toyota - who are they kidding? :ROFLMAO:
