Exactly the way it should be done! Should you ever need to use your batteries to charge the car there is usually an 'export amount' or similar named setting within the inverter, I can set my Victron to export 7kW and enable the Zappi to charge the car, the net result is all of the energy comes...

Yes it is their problem but morally it feels wrong. We got on a great tariff with Smartest Energy and I almost feel were taking advantage of them by not paying as we go along, I feel really uncomfortable. There isnt any interest being charged on our outstanding balance.

Is that not what I said? I'm somewhat confused with your comment, who is it meant for? J

Absolutely YES. Most recent inverters to my knowledge are G100 compliant and can do this. You can check on the ENA list here G100 Approval List When I first installed my Multiplus II GX it was going through the approval process so I had to limit the export to 0kW. Now it's approved the...

This is how it looks on the Growatt SPH and the Victron Multiplus II I dont have a lot of experience on parameters within inverters but the ones I've had dealings with all have this facility. J

Thats pretty much standard on all approved inverters. You simply set Maximum Export Power on my Victron it's in Kw and on my Growatt it's a % of the inverter power. It simply does exactly whats said on the tin, in MattyS's case he just needs to limit Export to 5kW but leave the inverter maximum...

I would suggest you adjust it so that export is limited to 5kW but you can use the full 10kW capacity in house.

Were still waiting for the final bill from either Tomato or BG for my commercial premises. Our new supplier cant/wont invoice us for electricity supplied since we moved because Tomato/BG wont give them final meter readings. I have sent them photographs of the meter every week and requested to...

I dont need your permission to speak! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

I guess some people have different moral standards to me. In my IT business we bend over backwards to help people and our reputation earned over the last 30 years is second to none. In my view a salesman only ever sells one item, the first one, any subsequent purchases result from service and...

Simple then, reject the vehicle! :D Not fit for the purpose for which it was sold, not of merchantable quality, faults at time of sale etc etc. Modern bonus? sorry, I dont agree, they have a duty IMHO to put right their error and minimise the impact on the customer. The outfit responsible for...

This is really pretty straight forward in my opinion. If I have a car from whatever manufacturer and that car develops an issue needing attention under warranty, no matter how the vehicle got to the dealer a courtesy car should be provided. I have had new cars in the past from Ford, VW and Audi...

Ah yes, I remember now reading back. Just had another look though and your experience doesn't quite meet with the MG press release in my book, 3 weeks before you were given an EV? "drivers with an MG Assistance breakdown policy will automatically be supported with a like-for-like MG until...

So they provided you with a like for like courtesy car for the duration?

Just the sort of loophole I guessed MG would implement!
