It is because the same "what ifs" keep coming round and they could easily be substituted for ICEV "what if" scenarios. ie. they are pointless. Rare events can happen to any type of vehicle.

You asked what if you were at home and the actual charger in your car somehow broke like you have found the great flaw in EVs! My answer, you get it collected and fixed.

What happens if your clutch packs in in your ICEV? You get it picked up and fixed. What happens if your gearbox disintegrates (happened on my WRX after my first set of mods)? You get it collected and fixed. Neither of those scenarios (or my recent Honda episode) are reasons not to buy an ICE, they are just rare events that can happen, just like your theoretical (and unlikely) "all of a sudden the charger breaks" scenario which you posted as though you've put the nail in the EV coffin.

So you don't like to answer my questions, then IGNORE them, really easy.

Your post means nothing to me, I am quite aware of what can happen to ANY vehicle, but I am asking questions on an EV THREAD......Gawd 'elp us........🙄

I think you'll find most people don't want to respond to your posts.

Because they don't like the answers they must give, perhaps, but I don't care, it is just annoying that a few of you must flame instead of answering......🤔

If your wall box failed you plug it in to any normal socket instead. Not stuffed, but slow.

If the actual charger on the car failed you would need to have the car taken to be fixed I would imagine. Likewise if your clutch failed, or your gearbox seized, or your petrol cap jammed.

Just more stupid "what ifs" really. Pointless and irritating.

Or do ICEVs just keep on working 100% of the time for 100% of the people?

Guess what, my wife drove our Honda HR-V (ICEV) home last week and parked it. The next morning it was dead. Stuck in park. No electrics (not even the horn would work). We needed two trucks to get it moved and taken back to Honda.  So what if that happens? Should I go posting in ICEV threads to ask what you do with your ICEV if that happens?

What if what if what if what if. Yawn yawn yawn yawn.

Thanks for the answer, the rest of your nonsense is ignored.

It is a shame you EV-ers have your heads stuck so far up where the sun don't shine, it is crazy, can't answer simple questions.......Sheeesh...

My home charger was supplied and installed by the dealer, it uses a secondary circuit from the house electrics (TOU meter) and gives me 1/2 price electricity at most times.

 

Until this was all up and running i used the charging cable, also supplied by the dealer, into a standard wall socket. ( actually i have two of these as i bought one that will work with no earth present, necessary at the mil’s )

 

Both the wall charger and the granny charger ( yup, it’s not too fast ) plug into the same point on the car.

Riiiiiiiiiight, so let's get back to my question, if the actual charger fails, and you are nowhere near a charge station, you are stuffed.....?  😛

Your question:

” So if your home charger has a problem, you are stuck.......? “

My answer:

”Nope, I plug the car into the mains…… “

 

What more info do you need ??

 

As usual your questions are answered but you don’t understand the answer .

Are you saying there is an override cable with a 3 pin plug to plug into the house circuit, that does not use the wall charger that is fitted to the house...

If so, does it connect to a different connection point on the car...🙃

Shh ... don't tell him most have 2 charging options at home.   We need comic relief whenever it's available.

 

If his wife is away from the house with the family Celerio ... he's stuck any way ... 

 

I see I haven't missed much by utilizing the ignore function of the forum.   Does make for a quick read though.

So, you can't answer it either, not surprised though.......🤗

A half inch plastic water pipe hole is way wider than 1/2".

Use a small drill through the tile and wall, when it appears outside, it will spread a bit. Use the full width drill outside first to go in an inch or two, if you don't, it may create  render patch coming off drilling from the inside, come back inside and finish the hole..🤗.

Do NOT use hammer mode on the tile, use a masonry bit through masking tape.

Stock..

Nope, I plug the car into the mains or go to one of the many chargers nearby.

Nearby.........Great, but that wasn't the answer I was looking for to my question..🤗

A fuel pump breaks much more often than an EV charger, mechanical devices always do.

 

I have yet to see a comment from you which is not trolling, I live in hope.

That is laughable, why don't you just answer the question instead of making MORE excuses..........🙄

Why is my question, trolling, go for it.....🤨

And yet the UK achieved the negotiated peace with the IRA the Corbyn had always said was the route to peace.

 

 

Did you not know that most peace is achieved eventually, look at the UK, Germany and Japan now.........

Unfortunately, you missed my point that Corbyn and his sidekick Abbott, sided with terrorist organisations that are still operational. The evidence is out there...

They are a bit like you, eh.......😉

Just now, JBChiangRai said:

 

If your fuel pump breaks you are stuck.  If there is an alien invasion you are stuck, any more useless comments Troll?

How often does fuel pump break........🙄............😂

I asked a simple question that you cannot answer, so why did you reply to anothers question.

As for troll, that is really scrapping your barrel...🥴

I keep reading here that charge stations are everywhere, which obviously isn't the case because a member has clarified.

So, if you are unfortunate enough to be one of those who is not near a charge station, and your home rig developed a problem, what do you do...?

Sensible answers only, please....🤗

Seems like you didn’t understand the post you quoted.

If you have a home charger you don’t need any chargers near your home and only if you travel further afield will you need a charger.

 

I have an EV and a home charger, the nearest outside charger i have used is around 200 km away.

So if your home charger has a problem, you are stuck.......?   🤔

No, I never said I do not like foreigners in my country. That´s your words and interpretation of my post. I said it was too many, and that is a big problem as criminality have increased. It´s just to look at Swedish prisons and what nationalities that are in majority. So, the result is that I do not like people coming from other countries making problem in a place that let them stay. Same as I do not like foreigners in Thailand, whos comes here and make problem as well as acting crazy. The majority there are Brits and Russians. For myself, I do not make any problem here, and I show respect to the people, so I think I am quite liked in Thailand. If your opinion differ, that stands for you. You don´t even know me.

Thanks for that, it was great...........🤣

Corbyn & Abbott, both terrorist supporters, should have been taken to task a long time ago........

Rubbed...

OP, I have same shower, and fitted one at a friend's, so far no problems after many years, but if I did, I would just replace it, probably the element or the stat.

If it were an expensive item, I might look into it, but they are cheap, good unit, pointless paying a bloke to fix it and come out at the same price as a new one...🤗

What dodge? I have written more than once on this forum that I am Swedish, and you have been reading it and made comments to other posts in the same threads. I am also quite sure, I have replied directly to you regarding that subject. Whatever, dude, even you can forget. Also, not very important, but I am sure you can go on with that for a long time, same as with luxury you have been stuck on for many weeks.

What Sweden done? First, taking in too many muslims, and have a big problem with that now. After we also let deluded people agitate them by allowing burning of the koran. Besides that they also allow Africans in hordes. Moreover, uncontrolled gang violence, that has been known all over the world news for long time. The whole population, including Swedes, have gone backwards. Also isolating themselves. Hardly not see your neighbor, and when you do there is almost never a smile and saying hello. Just quiet looking and walking away.

I could go on forever, but neither have the power or time for it.

So you don't like foreigners in your country, yet you are foreigner in LOS, where they probably don't like you.

Hmmmm. did you ever think of that, I mean, I don't like you, and I am not Thai.........😂

I have it on good authority that China is exporting hundreds of thousands of the latest, most technologically advanced dual use shovels to Russia. It has a brand new design, ergonomic handles and reinforced steel shafts to minimise bending when hit on a hard object, like a helmet.

 

When asked, the spokesman said, we are only one minor, inconsequential country supplying our latest innovation to our partner whilst there are over 40 countries supplying theirs to the other side.

Yet more "stories"...........🤔

No, you wont have any ammunition, as I resent my home country. That´s one of the big reasons a left for Thailand. You, on the other hand, always try to protect yours, however bad it looks. So, it looks like I am still the one with the gun while you are struggling with the bat. 😉 

Nice dodge, but no cigar............

You resent your country, so came to Thailand............🤣

What on earth has Sweden done to you to resent it...........😝

Lastly, you are a Luxury dreamer.............

So, you already know I am Swedish. I have given that info many times. Seems like you are getting a little bit senile. Not hiding anything. If you want face to face, I am here too. No problem dude!

 

Seems it is you with the senile problem, if I knew where you came from I wouldn't continually ask, now would I.....🙄

Why would I want a face to face with a strange bloke..........🥺

But now I know where you come from, every time you slag off British folk I will have ammunition......😉
