Do you really think an energy supplier would not take advantage of something that was approved in the eastern states, and have it pushed through over your side?

In Australia, there are strict rules as to how close to an edge a solar array can reach, all to do with installer/maintainer safety .....
Having said that, there are a lot of systems out there that would never pass even a glancing look so ..... There are rules, and there are rules that are...
I'm sure I wouldn't be driving to work, I'd driving to an airport to escape that sort of weather ..... what is it that keeps people in that sort of climate?
In Australia, it's generally money, paid to much to leave or can't afford to escape .... although, we do live in a hot house for a few mths...
Have you thought about using the EV as a second battery to get you over the shortfall till you reach the cheaper power availability ....
Sorry if someone has already posted about this idea, but the wife has said it's time for bed ;) :cool: :rolleyes: Yeah, but I can dream though :LOL:

This is what the electricity regulator is looking to do in Australia, Submissions Close On AEMC Plan To Raise Fixed Charges
so the MG4 as an additional solar storage unit will be a must and we will go off grid ..... let them see how well that goes for them ;) :LOL:

That will be the true test, an EV of the same make and model, one with what ever the normally fitted battery is and the other with a CATL Na+ battery.
Theoretically, the battery heating would be turned on, they are good down to -40*C, so the -20*C should concern it much.
The other theoretical...
Interesting, starting to sound like a design fault, MG know about it and they changed the design with the updated rear window wiper model ...... does that match the failed v still good suspension bush discoveries?

It's the crazy Americans with their Tesla designed charging port that are left out in the cold so to speak.
The things I've only recently thought about, is regen into a very cold battery, does the battery heating kick in automatically if the battery temp approaches 0°C?

Our MG4 is just coming up to 12 mths old, so I best check that the canvas isn't showing, no guarantees they will still have legal tread on them with the way the wife drives :rolleyes: Somehow, she actually managed to get both the rear tyres to squeal on the dry bitumen as she launched out of the...
If I had a cool $124K sitting in my pocket .... I'd be petrified I was about to get donged on the head ..... but I'd invest it till it reached $365,000, and by a Lucid Air Saphire ...... then park it some where safe because I'd never be able to afford the insurance :LOL:
But how cool to roll up...
The CATL Na+ will charge at 5C without a problem, all day every day, NCA at around 2C to 80% but degrade due to heat generation internally over time, NMC at 1C to 1.5C to 80%, but again, continual fast charging will shorten cycle life.
Good quality LFP, 3C to 5C, but 1C can be pumped in to...
This one seems to be a contentious subject regarding tyre rotation. In the rag tyre days, it was diagonally opposite swap and the worst went to the spare ..... at least that one has been sorted these days because spare tyres are worn by the driver and not part of the vehicle's equipment :LOL...
