I think it's still got the 1300 in it, it's much easier to find good parking with a dummy socket in it
Genius! Just park in an EV spot, and plug your hookup cable in to pretend you're charging Leave a picture of Greta Thurnberg on the dash for extra virtue points.
Electric motors in cars are mechanically an excellent idea, as you don't a transmission. No other aspect of EVs makes any sense whatsoever.
I remain silent, a minority voice, whilst I hope rest of the world will eventually gets it Marmite together!
I saw my first Tesla on the hard shoulder.. of the M4 about 4 miles short of Membury Services yesterday. Plus it's not just the buyers that suffer. The battery charger in the integrated charger/inverter/UPS in my bus began blowing up its MOV surge suppressor when a neighbour got a Zoe EV. In the end I had to disable the charger by removing components from the PCB and buy a separate charger as it was too damaged. I think there is a load dump transient problem. At least for a friend it trips his own EV charger when it stops charging so that's fair.
Probably true for my friend, but in my case it's the 23 year old infrastructure is bad. Not my installation of an EV charger damaging my electronics. The UPS on my PC is regularly bleating about bad mains power. I think theres also a British brand 100 amp contactor used in these EV charger installations that overheats and goes up in smoke when run hard charging an EV. Infrastructure isn't up to it. Wait until multistorey car parks under office buildings burn or collapse because of faulty EV chargers and the general wasteful bloat of carrying a tonne of batteries around increasing the weight of cars into pickup truck territory..
