    Over in the General Mercedes EV section @RedSmartEQ and I are discussing the fact that his/her Sync EV charge point sends 15-second 6A charge pulses every four minutes while a scheduled charge is pending to ensure the car doesn't enter "sleep" mode and therefore fail to wake for the scheduled...

    Can anyone point me to a comprehensive list of currently available home charging options please? It seems that there sites dedicated to one particular brand of charger or installers who favour one or two different chargers. I could do with a round up of everything that is out there and all the...

    I have a Pod Point home charger in my garage. Before we had it installed we used the 3-pin cable to charge the Leaf. This got me thinking - what do the electronics inside the Pod Point actually do? There's a PC's worth of stuff in there, and as far as I was aware the Leaf takes care of timing...
