If you use a neighbors wallbox to charge your ev, how would you calculate the electricity used to pay them for it ??
Most of the wallbox chargers apps will tell you how much charge has been put into the car and they should know how much their electricity is per kWh
That could lead to disagreements, especially if they have a battery... They would be better off having their own wallbox charger.
What difference does having a battery make regarding how much KWh the car has taken as a charge?
Well, using your battery to charge their car, sure you could charge them at the KW rate but they might argue its free power from the battery.
If they have solar and a battery it has cost them thousands to get free power so why shouldn't they charge the same rate as their supplier no matter of where the electricity has come from. Agree a unit price first and if you don't like it don't use their wall charger.
Well that is a disagreement / argument that would never happen upon prior discussion.
You are free to charge what you like. As has been said, agree the unit price beforehand and job done.Well that is a disagreement / argument that would never happen upon prior discussion.
I have solar and battery installation and between the two and Octopus night time Tarif, my current running costs are around 1 pence a mile. (Average 1100 miles per month).
If someone wanted to use my charger I would charge the standare price per KWh from the grid, and if they didn’t agree, don’t plug and See ya laters!
No skin off my nose if they are on my drive or not, and would still be a whole lot cheaper and more convenient than public charging.
? It always astounds me that people still fund this utter comic.There will always be more:
There wasa electric car fire here a month ago. That started everyone off how dangerous they were again. The truth was the front tyre caught on fire which spread to the rest of the car.There will always be more:

How does a front tyre catch fire? Break system maybe?
As soon as I saw it was by him I didn't even bother reading it.
I can think of a number of things. : brakes heting up, wheelbearings getting dry and hot, Electrical system short and a lot of other things besides the car battery starting the fire. In the news an electric scooter on fire. Some of these cheap things might not have a BMS on them.. Car batteries have a BMS and cooling built into them, I also have a tesla powerwall2 solar battery under my house. I have seen inside it and it has a radiator and cooling system built in..
An electrical system short would surely blow a fuse first?in any case, I get your point ?
If this is the story I'm thinking of, they didn't have house insurance.Here is a very recent house fire in North Wales that has been suggested, was caused by charging an electric scooter ? outside of the front door.
The scooter started a fire which tragically gutted the whole house in the process.
In the picture I did spot an EV wall box on the wall of the property and thought, he we go again !.
Sky news grabbed this story.
Interesting to note that I see no provision for an external three pin external socket outlet on the outside of the property ?.
The scooter was put on charge and then the family left for about 30 minutes, I have now been later informed.
Question :- How is the lead supplying the power to the charger reaching the scooter, I ask myself ?.
Trapped under the front door when it was closed and locked by any small chance ???.
