I explained but you chose not to understand it.

 Emergency/Granny charger is a separate cable that is supplied with the car it has a 3 pin plug ( for standard wall socket) on one end and the other is a plug only for the charging socket on the outside of the car, dealer supplied is usually 10 amps but can buy 3rd party cables with varying amperage, has nothing to do with the wall charger. 

 

Now come back and say you couldn’t understand that !!

Thank you, now wasn't that easy, concise, every point covered in a way anyone could understand in a couple of lines.

Well done........

So no problem charging at home unless your wall sockets don't have an RCD/MCB to cater for it, or a power cut........🤗

The answer you wanted was in the first part of the post: "I plug it into the mains." 

 

Maybe you didn't read that part, as you continued with several more posts, acting as if that answer had not been given.

 

It wasn't until after the point that you could plug an EV directly into the mains had been repeatedly made, that you finally decided to accept that you had in fact been given the answer.

Another who has jumped on the flame bandwagon.

I have learned that if the wall charger packs up, you have an extra lead to plug into a wall socket, but, where does the other end of that lead go, does it go into the charger on the wall and bypass what the charger does, or is it something that plugs into the car itself...

I have tried very hard to get an answer to clarify, I have now used extra words to get my answer about EV's on an EV thread clarified, if my question is beyond you, just say you don't know or ignore it.

I may have to ask on Google instead.........🤭

That's an excellent idea!

 

But it's not just asking a question about EVs. I have learned a ton in this thread due to people asking questions about EVs and EV owners answering them - in fact that was the whole reason for this thread in the first place before it got hijacked by the anti-EV brigade.

You asked if the charge didn't work and someone explained you can plug it in to any socket. You then expanded by taking it to "but what if your car charger didn't work"? That's not asking a question to learn, that is a leading question because you want the answer to be "then you are bricked" and you can feel you've won because you've found the flaw. I merely pointed out all cars can have single points of failure, nothing unique to EVs or ICEVs, although EVs have a lot less to go wrong.

Ask a genuine question and you'll get a helpful answer. But dreaming up "what ifs" to try and prove a misguided point is pointless. I don't even own an EV but it drives me insane.

Let me ask you a question: why are you so against EVs? Why do you and EOW scrape the internet to try and find things against them? I really don't get it.

You have totally misunderstood my initially question.

You, are making assumptions.......

So I suggest you mind your own business, and again, if you don't like my questions, move on.

It is that simple..........

Got it.....?  🙄

The fact that you're asking such a basic, fundamental, schoolboy question gives the game away that after four and a half years of regular EV threads on this forum, you still haven't got the first flippin' clue about EVs. 

 

Why don't you partake in subjects you actually know something about and stop clogging up the EV threads with your embarrassing nonsense?

I am not embarrassed about asking questions, it is folk like you that know everything that has the problem.

Plus, you can be sure of this, I will continue to ask questions about anything I want, people like you should mind your own business.

Got it...........😉

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.....🤨

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.......😉

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...........🤣

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.........😂
