I'd like to refresh the topic as I couldn't find any definitive advice. Years have passed by and there are now lots of products out there that could resolve the issue with dead 12V batteries after a long parking. I've found both the solar chargers that work inside the car as well as OBD...

I got a quote through SolarTogether and sort of assumed it is a good quote. It is part of a group buying scheme by the council, I thought it is probably as good a value I am going to get - plus a vetted supplier. But I have had some great responses to my other question and somebody pointed me to...

Hello, I have been looking to buy an EV for couple of years now but I put the idea on hold as we weren't travelling much and even the ICE at home looked like a massive waste of money. I finally sold the car and now seriously looking to buy an EV replacement. In the meanwhile, I also registered...

Hi - I'm about to get a Used Leaf 24 - looking for 7kw charger - have solar panels so apparently I need a zappi to take advantage of those. The zappi 2 requires no earthing, so cost should be reasonable. Any idea who is good to fit it? I saw earlier threads suggesting £600 install was alot -...

Anyone seen the Sion EV from Sono Motors? Did a quick piece on it, would love discussion around it.

Just saw this on my news feed and thought t was interesting. How an electric car can make you money I thought the only cars that could do V2G were the new Nissan Leaf's. If this is the case then would be interesting if any of the UK companies could offer it.

How likely you are to further reduce CO2 impact and saving money? We are looking for people who have both solar panels and EV car to join our research at Kaluza. If you belong to this group or willing to do so, please fill in the form at the following link: Do you have solar panels and EV car...

I have solar panels on the roof (of the house) so I'm guessing it's going to be cheaper to charge during the day (while the sun shines) or am I just dreaming?

I am thinking of getting Solar installed to compliment my Leaf. However I spent more.time during the day at work than I do at home so I am not sure how much it would be used. Also the batteries that are on offer are a teeny capacity so are they worth it. Any help would be appreciated.

Well I had my Zappi working well for a month with the CT input hard wired to the Grid import. However the cable had to be run around the house outside as it wasn't practical to have it going through the house. I ordered the Harvi to send the grid info wirelessly. I got the Harvi detected and...

Well, I've had the N-Connecta for two days and the first evening drove a friend home from redacted to Watford on a short test trip. Received the car with 91% and by the end of my 40+ miles - with very mixed driving styles to play - I was at about 60%. Left the car at home yesterday, both because...

Some things work better than expected. My newly purchased 2017 Chevy Volt, has been getting me to work and back home without burning any gas that I can detect. The round trip is almost 60 miles. The information provided by the computer is telling that I have gone over 58 miles on a full charge...

Hi all, I'm trying to get my head around installing a microgrid at my house of EV charger, Solar array and Battery Storage system..... But is proving tricky to get reliable info on how everything integrates together, what my payback period would be, what sized array is best etc. Interested to...

We were fortunate to have 4 kW of solar panels fitted to our home roof about 6 years ago. We have ordered the new LEAF Tekna for delivery in mid May 2018. Now we have the order number I believe we can contact the charger installers for installation already. Am I correct in assuming that if we...

I have a Leaf Tekna 30kWH with a 6.6kW on-board charger and a 5kW home solar panel installation. There is now smart technology which can be connected to the Solar Inverter which can harvest just the power which would have been exported to the grid from the solar panels, when available, and...
