(y) for the young ones... my back wouldn't cope with that approach though 🤣

IMHO, we are less regulated over here than many other countries (e.g. USA and France)... certainly in terms of electrical work.

Yes, but... this is the sort of English up with which I will not put. (with apologies to Churchill)

I would expect the output of that to be similar to the MG's V2L - i.e. floating earth. So I suspect you'll have the same issue. No (to your question in bold). IMHO the "issue" or rather the "safety check" that is correctly being performed by the vehicle's charger is to make sure an earth...

With mine, it started charging at 7kW and then decreased as the SOC increased. Makes sense but wasn't expecting it.

And don't forget that prepositions should not be used to end a sentence with ;)

Tongue saves on wet-wipe costs.

In the UK, you would effectively need to create a "TT" earthing arrangement - I suspect same down-under but you would need to check local regs. It will require N-E bonding at the source, a suitable earthing rod and then RCD protection of the supplied circuit. Suggest you use a sparky to set...

That's what's good/useful about forums

Best of both worlds... just buy a 3 year old EV ex-taxi and the depreciation will be vastly reduced ;)

Not sure what to tick as question 4 seems to be missing... 🤷‍♀️ "Question 4 - Do UK members really want to know how hot is it in Australia right now"?

I didn't realise (until last night) that EV's / some EV's reduce their charge rate when just charging via a home 7kW charger (i.e. not just on rapid DC chargers) when the temp is low and the SOC high :eek: Is this common to all EV's or just certain makes? Wondering if those out there that have...

(y) you should be using a strainer, rather than a colander, to hold in those little unimportant appointments 👩‍🍳

Well, as @Rolfe's away and @siteguru is a bit tardy defrosting his bus, thought I better do the "bold underline italics" thing so people don't think @salty is referring to his colander in the kitchen... ... and, for completeness:- there's inappropriate use of commas kitchen is not a proper...

(y) that works too..

It is indeed 3680W... in my defence, UK Power Networks round it to 3.6kW in their application forms. Not that we ever "see" the nominal 230V. It's either around 250V when we're exporting or 220V (if we're lucky) when charging.

Shame it wasn't a 2015 calendar as you could reuse one of those in 2026 (i.e. non leap year with 1st Jan starting on Thursday) :)

Totally agree with all that... you were one of the "others have done that" when I mentioned using V2L to charge home storage batteries. Well, nearly everything you said... ... the pedant in me will clarify that the cut-off between G98 notification and G99 approval is 3.6kW (16A at nominal...

I think the Ioniq 5 is only V2L, same as MG4 but with 3.6kW output. Ioniq 7 is rumoured to support V2H, but it will be a while until they're MOT failures of those.

Maybe he lives at the top of a big hill :unsure:;)
