Wondered if you had chance to look at any dash cam video, especially at night, to give your verdict ?

@Bandersnatch

"at night" - in bed by 9pm!

Will give some feedback when I get a chance

But the fast charge rate you quote is only available from a Level 3 station (needs 450v plus) so not applicable to your home charger that should be Level 2 (for safety and insurance reasons). The level 2 station does not give you the 10min/200km you quote

Did you realise that I was responding to @KhunLA post where he was showing the range of the car? On a long trip I won't keep popping home to top up the charge on my home wall box,  I will use a fast DC chargers along my route.

is this highly dependent on the wall charger and supported vehicle? 

I understand the Japanese ChaDeMo charger are better in this respect as it's baked in to the charging protocol 

Did you watch the 2 videos? I covered both of these points there.

Preparing to have your free EV WallBox installed.

BYD’s WallBox installation team has already contacted my wife about the install and they had some questions for her about the meter size, location of the installation and the nearest breaker box.

I am pleased BYD use a different install team to MG as the installation was a nightmare.

They insisted to use their own breakers, which I said were not designed for the breaker box and represented a safety risk.

This is the breaker box after their installation - I have removed most of the remains of the fried gecko that had pushed it’s way into the gap.

Before BYD’s visit I changed the breakers to Siemens and freed up a space for the new wall box.

i’ll be honest, when I posted that I thought it was for the preceding month, turns out it was over a month afterwards.

Not sure when October figures are due, they just pop up on my fb page.

Ok look forward to your next update

Seal likely to make a small entry in Oct chart

@MrChart did I miss the October figures?  
 

Just watched a video quoting EV sales for 2023 estimated to be 8.7% Thought I saw we had already reached over 10% of total vehicle sales.

Did you get the housing back ok?

Yes light pressure all the way around and click. Getting underneath it getting it off is the problem. I got a YouTube comment. - didn’t look that hard, he didn’t see the struggle off camera to get it started

This exchange on my Hot Seal video was interesting

IMO most people would want their ride juiced up and ready to go, some might wait until later when the price is lower, but if everyone waited until later to charge wont those be higher demand hours and wont the electric companies charge accordingly? 

As you said yourself "I don't have an EV" meaning you don't think the way EV owners think. You don't understand how EVs work.

"if everyone waited until later to charge wont those be higher demand hours and wont the electric companies charge accordingly"

EVs represent a tiny proportion of countries energy usage, but they want EV owners to charge at night so power like Wind doesn't need to switched off and they don't need to switch on Gas Peaker early evening.

In which case he should have not have simply copied and pasted he should have done a proper job

You are going to have to explain how I could have done a more proper job of listing "Questions covered in the article" than "simply copied and pasted"

maybe I could have changed a few questions to ones that weren't covered by the article?
