Should be quite a few around at that price now - also Cat-S MG4's or a high-mileage VW ID.4's. Re warranty, you'll need to find one that has a full service history with no services missed, either on mileage or within 28 days of due date. Finding one at that price with complete history may be...

Looks good - presumably not an e-motorbike though? As for the consumer unit... Yes, that is a good solution if you have a modern one with individual RCBO's or a dual pole type A RCD. I would not recommend wiring an EV charger downstream of your main RCD, if it is an older Type-AC RCD. The...

Presumably, even without a smart meter, you will have at least quarterly bills from over the last year to work out a reasonable estimate of your consumption and proportion that accordingly to work out whether the increased day rate will be more or less than your £160 charging difference? IME...

or, from another zenforo based forum I'm on...

tends to happen with tyres ;)

(y) please do - with your low usage it sounds do-able.

Agree. For continual use, you should have a BS1363-2 type EV socket installed off a dedicated radial final and then running a maximum of 10A for charging. Even then, there have been issues, especially with poorly connected 13A fuses in the granny chargers plug... e.g. like in this thread...

(y). A few of us have gone down that route... e.g. here https://www.mgevs.com/threads/porsche-mobile-charger-with-mg4.23983/post-405984 and https://www.mgevs.com/threads/uk-domestic-socket-charging.18129/post-405504

Well, it certainly can and it does, for us. All depends on your usage patterns and having enough PV and battery. I'll assume you mean kWh, not kW. If so, then yes, I agree that is looks do-able. I must say 6kWh is a very atypical low consumption and I wasn't factoring that in with earlier...

IMHO that configuration sounds somewhat under-panelled. Understandable if you have limited space for panels though. I suspect that, unless your household loads are very low, there won't be a whole lot spare for EV charging. If you have the space it would be good to increase the number of...

Well, he is from Wales 🤷‍♀️

(y) we do. Has been completely free for 9 months of the year and odd top-ups for the rest of the year. Great. How many panels do you have and what power will your inverters generate? We put our surplus into the EV's in the summer, usually charging at around 16A from solar, sometimes at...

Wow, very early it's another week till carving time ;)

Why on earth did the software engineer put a "Restore Audio Defaults" button within the software version information pane? 🤷‍♀️

There seemed to be something odd about your picture, so I fixed it for you...
