I have the same question as carlyai. But you guys in the EV forum are always so focused on cars rather than electrical questions ... May I ask what is the reason you kept the car charger on single phase? I'm thinking of a car port the style Crossy has built. So seeing these 3 phase inverters now being not much more expensive than single phase, I thought this has advantages if you parallel 2-3 of them. The currents on the AC side would be in a region I'm comfortable with, where with 10+ kW on single phase seems already a bit high for me.

It looks nice, until the point where he shows the voltages of the cells. 500mV difference I would not really want in my battery pack. And yeah, you can balance them, just to see them drift away again at each charge and discharge... On top of this, these cells are LiPo chemistry or similar. For the price you can get new LiFepo4 cells, thermic recycling for these MG cells would probably be the best option. In the worst case, these unmatched cells will initiate their own thermic recycling inside your home.

OMG, these things look like even uglier copies of SSangyong Rhodius. Any european would buy this?

But these guys with their hopelessly overloaded 25 years old Toyota pickups might not be the primary target for the EV pickup manufacturers. There are many "normal" people doing their 50 to 100km per day through the city, shopping and restaurant trips by pickup. And personally I feel much safer in the Hilux than in the Dolphin because of the car size and elevated position. I'm curious as to what the price of the BYD pickup will be.

Well, this type of pickup would consume like 10L of Diesel on 100km where your ZS maybe 6L if it had a Toyota or western made Diesel engine. This part seems ok for me. But what looks strange to me, is that 10kWh more battery would give 90km more range, where 64kWh only give 373km. Not sure if it's worth the 100k more for the 10kWh battery.

Am I the first one to provide the price for the Liddala? I was waiting for the 29.10. to know the selling price.

Well indeed, it seems possible to fly that high with propellers. the Helios Prototype piloted remotely by Greg Kendall reached an altitude of 96,863 feet (29,524 m),

Could any of the aeronautical experts explain how this thing flies at 65 000 feet? Solar powered jets? I thought there is little air up there for propeller planes to fly. big H2 balloons under the wings?

The chinese girl has a power supply. But it seems that the controller box of the pump should be directly connected to the solar panels and handles switching on. Thanks all for instructing me.

Flyingtiger's video suggests these pumps need a separate controller. Bandersnatch, are your pumps also in this voltage range of 110 - 180V DC? To what power do you connect these directly to the panels via some controller?

Solar pumps 110V or the bigger one 185V DC, 17A, This is nice power and the pump will probably work much better than any other "solar toy pump". But my question is, how do they use them? I would struggle to find a nice way to connect them to ... what? A 180V battery? How to charge this? An array of solar panels with 30 A output and no battery? And then switch them on manually when the sun shines? - imagine the spark at the DC switch Maybe the Thai are more clever and have a simple solution, but for me I would struggle to make these work. Apparently they sell them, so there might be a market. Can anyone enlighten me please.

Most likely because they have been repeatedly discharged to 0% and then charged to 100% again, which damages them irreversibly. I have Lenovo Laptops with 17 years old batteries which still hold charge for 20min to half hour. But there, you can set discharging and charging thresholds.

Also, is it really needed in locations near the Equator?

Did you already get your quality LiFePo4 from China ? I remember you wanted to order some in November or December.

How do you guys handle the initial rain water collection? I suppose you have a metal roof. So the first rain, takes all the bird <deleted> and dust away. How do you switch to fill the "clean" water in your big bottles ?Or do you have a filter?
