What size supply do you have now?? (look at your meter) Most of the charger installers want you to have a 30/100 single-phase supply. PEA were offering a second "EV" supply on a 15/45 TOU meter but as you correctly surmise, they've stopped doing that now. On average, how far do you anticipate driving per day in your EV. You need to define "better", 3-phase will, with an appropriate "charger" (actually the charger is in the car, the EVSE is just a controller) enable you to charge faster. A 3-phase EVSE will likely cost $$$. But, the vast majority of users can use a Level-2 or even a Level-1 (or "granny lead") charger overnight running on cheap-rate power from the grid if you don't have enough solar storage and can't charge your car during the day. Unless you are very close to the limit on your current supply (I suspect you are not) then sticking with single-phase is the best solution at this time.

I truly have no idea, it's possible that something got lost in translation. I do note that my payment hasn't arrived yet 😞 Once I've got my new BKK Bank account we have to go back to the office to arrange them taking the $$$ per month out, we can verify then. I'm actually not sure just how long I've been paying in, there was a gap after my first batch when I was working elsewhere, heck I'm not even sure if I retained the same SS number. -
It took me just a moment longer than I'm going to admit to

Which is the best air conditioning brand out there?

It was a few years back, but IIRC it was their local repair centre. They may well have improved, but once bitten!! -

After having this exact issue with a TCL TV under warranty, "sorry cannot fix, no spares" I will never buy another TCL product, ever!! -
Box "2 of 2" has arrived, seems it got "forgotten" at one of the transfers.

How about a solar car port on a budget?

I'm long past justifying the cost, I'm an engineer doing what engineers do 🙂 -

This is the inside of the patio roof using our thermal-imager. Bonus points if you can tell where the solar panels end 🙂 -

Just added another 2.7kWp onto the patio roof, bringing us to 18kWp installed. We are actually now limited by the capabilities of our older Sofar inverter only being able to do 3kW PV => batteries. Note how the battery power is pretty constant, whist PV1 mirrors PV2, I feel another Deye inverter coming on. I thought we had filled every available flat roof with panels. But I just noticed that the chook house gets full sun from about 10AM, and there's room for at least 9 panels!! EDIT The chook house in question (it's actually now garden storage, the chooks have moved into much more salubrious accommodation), that mango tree would only shade the panels in the morning when the house would also be in the way. -
Yeah, it was a single item that came as two packages. One 2m long package of aluminium extrusions (which arrived) and the other just a box with all the accessories. Packages were marked as "1 of 2" and "2 of 2", package "2 of 2" has gone walkabout.

What were the failures?? If within 12 months they would be under warranty. -

We are all Hitachi now. Our original Samsung gave out after 9 years with a failed radiator (aluminium). Its replacement Sharp was just junk, never got anywhere near the advertised cooling capacity. -
Small centipede bite...Good God was that painful!

Get chickens! Even the big ones don't last long with a determined chook on each end! -
Whilst generally reliable, multi-part shipments do seem to cause them issues 😞 For the second time this year Kerry managed to deliver package "1 of 2". Driver of course denies that there are two packages! Lazada seller is being very helpful (I've dealt with them many times) and talking to Kerry. "2 of 2" will be languishing in a van somewhere of course. Luckily, this time, package 2 is not an issue if it arrives "soon".

This actually bodes well for my communications with BKK Bank. I'll go on Monday, promise 🙂
