One thing to watch is that many chargers in France charge by time, not kWh. We were stung using a hotel charger. We booked the space when we booked the room, plugged in when we got back after dinner, and unplugged when we left in the morning. One month later the chargemap bill came in, 90€ for...

Make sure that you blame the government. They've had more than 12 years to invest in renewable and instead they've subsidised fossil fuel more than 100 times the renewable subsidy. We could be much less dependent on oil and gas, but oh no, now they're talking about more North Sea oil and even...

Thanks for the reminder - I should have immediately thought about blocked drains as it's happened to me before. Nice job for tomorrow! It's definitely not condensation, we're getting about an egg-cup full of water in the cup holder (but the damp in the car is making the windows steam badly).

You're absolutely right, my mistake. I still suspect that the standard supply to the street lamps is not going to be adequate to support the 32A supply needed for EACH charger.

Now that the wet weather is back and the garage is full of junk, we've noticed water dripping from the sunroof control panel and creating a puddle in the central cup-holder of our 18 month old ZS EV. Must be coming through the sunroof seal somewhere, but not obvious. Has anyone else experienced...

So a standard slow charger is 22kw. Even with an old sodium lamp at 100w that's the power for 220 lights. I can't imagine there are many places where the existing supply can manage that extra load.

Hi all. I'm getting quotes to have a Zappi charger installed at my home. I have a 3 phase supply (for historical reasons). 1 phase feeds the main building consumer unit, 1 phase directly feeds the garage consumer unit (and nothing else) and the 3rd phase is unused. Each phase has a 60/80A supply...

We routinely see 214 after a full charge. However to get that high you have to turn the aircon off (makes around 30 miles difference) and switch to Eco mode.

You underestimate the ability of insurers to wriggle out of paying, and you're factually wrong too. Any modification should be reported to the insurer. Lights are a risk area. And yes, if you put the wrong tyres on you will void your insurance.

Hi, not many, but here's my best memory Osprey at Tessa Jowell Health Centre Denmark Hill, London Swarco at Red Lion, Faversham, Kent Ecotricity at Medway Services, Kent ESB Energy Tulse Hill char.gy Nunhead

Never needed a card so far, all the charging points I've used are quite happy with contactless credit/debit card.
