  1. 7Kw is minuscule to what you draw when driving, even 150kw is comparable to driving spiritedly.
  2. I am currently in Da Nang, the coffee served at breakfast is undrinkable. The coffee shops serve decent coffee though. In Chiang Rai I buy from The Roast & Roastery, 2 shops owned by a chap called Roj who grows, roasts and sells his own coffee in his shops. His beans aren’t too dark and dry looking rather than oily.
  3. Is Israel preventing anything from entering through the Rafah crossing?
  4. The reason I wanted to make my own wall box was to vary the charging current with amount of solar power present. The only way for anything external to the car to change the current is to stop the charging process, fully disconnect and repeat the hand shake process with different parameters. I wanted a smooth transition from one speed to another and it’s not possible. 1 or 2 of my solar power inverters shut down if a large load is removed and the voltage shoots up too high. You can get the parts to make your own wall box on AliExpress including the logic controller that send the pulses to the car’s charger.
  5. Probably right, it makes sense allowing for hysteresis in the battery. On the other hand, higher current charging produces more heat and the cooling system wastes energy removing it from the batteries.
  6. In effect, yes. Incidentally, I read somewhere that it’s not a good idea to charge your car immediately after driving it, you should leave it for an hour to cool down the batteries.
  7. Because an either/or argument precludes other options.
  8. Close, but once the handshake is made the car determines most of the process. If it decides to draw a lower current, it doesn’t tell the wall box, it just does it. In the initial handshake, the wall box can tell the car to only draw, say 8 amps, and car will comply. It’s not possible for the wall box to increase or decrease the charging rate once it starts (which is a shame). The wall box contains a contactor and it can stop the charge at anytime if it sees an error or problem. Some wall boxes have temperature sensors in the charging plug. I have a degree in Electronic Engineering, I do understand the process, I studied it with a view to making my own wall box. All control signals are analogue and not digital.
  9. I can’t find anything saying slow charging is less efficient, only the opposite, like this … “While slow charging does use less power during the charging process, it may prolong the overall charging time. As a result, if you take into account the energy used during the extended charging period, slow charging may not provide significant energy savings.” It’s actually the car that responds to the request of the wall box to set charging speeds. All EV’s onboard chargers can charge at multiple speeds, the wall box just sends a different pulse to the car and the car complies by setting its charger to the speed requested. Once charging starts the wall box is entirely passive. It’s probably a good idea to charge the lowest speed possible when the car has just been driven, and the battery pack is hot, or the ambient temperature is high.
  10. you are justifying, what would be considered war crimes today.
  11. Reading your posts here, you have a habit of making personal attacks, it just weakens your argument.
  12. Not when it is, inciting hatred, and neither does the law in many countries
  13. I have no idea, I wasn’t alive then. And I condemn my country bombing Dresden, just as I condemn Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
  14. Thank you
  15. Sorry, I misunderstood you, I thought you were referring to AN member. Yes I do condemn the Rabbi for what he said and the newspaper for publishing it. But I never made a personal comment. It just incites hatred, get my point?
  16. Definitely an extremist. Disappointing that he was Chief Rabbi.
  17. What is equally disappointing about that article was that the newspaper published it. In my country they couldn’t have published that. Inciting hatred is never acceptable.
  18. Firstly, I did not “attack” anyone, nor did I ever make a personal comment. You did.
  19. Here is the link that you missed earlier. https://www.jpost.com/israel/eliyahu-advocates-carpet-bombing-gaza It’s extremely relevant when a senior Rabbi in Israel promotes hatred & committing War Crimes.
  20. I was asked to pull quotes from a news article written by a rabbi that I gave a link to, a few posts earlier you’ll see the link, I will try and find it again
  21. A tad argumentative and unnecessary don’t you think?
  22. So do you think what he says is okay? Or do you condemn it?
  23. I am less than happy with most wall boxes. Most only allow the car to charge at the full power of 7.2 kW, it’s advantageous to be able to slow that down. If either you have a weak supply, or there is a general Brown out, or you don’t need the car charging quickly, for example overnight. and the hottest days of the hot season. There may not be enough power to charge at the full 7.2 kW
  24. sorry, I was in the process of doing that, it’s particularly difficult on a smart phone
  25. All civilians living in Gaza are collectively guilty… …Eliyahu ruled that there was absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians during a potential massive military offensive on Gaza aimed at stopping the rocket launchings. … …According to Jewish war ethics, wrote Eliyahu, an entire city holds collective responsibility for the immoral behavior of individuals. Paragraph 2 above is a war crime when carried out. Can you honestly say you see nothing wrong here?
