That thinking is not 'wrong' as such, just not complete. With a fault on a single appliance you will not be harmed, but you will not be aware a fault has occurred. The technical issue is that any other fault occurring on another device or wire could allow the full 230V to cross your body...

They should all comply with G98/G99 regs for cut-out in the case of no grid. Obviously they will also need to do that or they'd electrocute users with 'live' pins on their BS1363 plugs.

Not enough, of course ;) (+ PM'd you)

I hope they gave you commission for advertising it on here :)

(y) 16 is definitely not enough ;) On that note... it looks like we'll have harvested just over 1MWh of solar this month :)

That is the power that the MG V2L adapter will supply. There is AFAIAA no specification to the limit. Others have achieved more using a custom cable with a different value resistor - see https://www.speakev.com/threads/new-v2l-specification-mg4-mg5-zs.174106/ (y) provided you only use...

LOL... it's not so simple here as there are technical differences between the UK and German wiring systems and corresponding safety issues - I think I have detailed these in my post #13 above.

You make no mention of a) earthing and b) RCD protection :eek: Unless you have the skills and knowledge of such, your suggestion would be potentially lethal. Do not try this at home!

To follow on from @Bam Bam... The short answer is 'no'; a ZS EV will not fit on your balcony. The long answer is 'yes'; especially with option 2 as detailed above. Not sure why you say that? There are no safety issues with what @johnb80 is doing whatsoever. The AC power from the EV is...

(y) and even Kirchoff knew that, back in 1845!

... all sounds very fishy to me

Is that where they use the test route that starts at Conococha and ends in Paramonga?

🙅‍♀️ no, not yet.
