I'm not sure that's true.
Welcome to OOF
And what would that solve? A load of people who don't want to do the job would be even less effective.
.....Volume, tone and four preset buttons is plenty good enough.
We have been using the out-laws Citroen C4 Spacetourer (used to be Picasso) ... there's hardly a proper button on the entire car. It just has a silly touch screen that does radio, sat-nav, phone, vehicle settings & something else I can't remember. It has the most uninspiring instrumentation ever.
I'm curious.
With the upcoming changes to the highway code etc, would operating such a device become illegal?
Drained some water out the zafira and put some coolant in, which means I can drive it when the temperature is below zero now, which is nice.
you may as well just order a nice big diesel generator and fuel bowser then to charge your EVsThat's not a bad way to launder red diesel for road use.
order NOW off Ebay and you should have them delivered in time for the 2030 deadline
Bicester has a new eco town, supposedly set up with public transport and set up for EVs. The buses, well, their frequency and reliability is predictable, but the feeds are all 60A*, so hardly ideal for them charging EVs... ...though as Kevin Wood says, if everyone plugged in, the local substation equipment would let out all of the magic smoke.I'll check next time I'm over, but get a feeling Mum's 3 Phase supply is also 100A.100A service head is standard , but many are down-rated to 60 or 80 amp HRC fuse internally
That would explain why the streetlights dim when her (electric) boiler fires up
Also, didn't the DNO (distribution network operator) aka electric board insist on hazardous location and explosion proof electrical fittings being used at your location following the "incident "
*According the the sensationalist media, so obviously no idea if that's the feed or just a small fuse.

Maths was based on the following...
(square root of 3)1.73 x 32A x 240V = 13,286.4Wh or 13.29kWh
So to charge 93kW would take 7 hours.
22kWh would require a current of 53A which is somewhat optimistic for a domestic supply, even three phase.
Why root 3? The correction you're applying is already accounted for in the 240V RMS calculation of voltage.
Most normal houses only have single phase, and the supply is typically fused at 60A. Flats can be 30A, but if you're living in a flat on the 12th floor of Nelson Mandela house then charging an EV is going to be problematic anyway. You can ask for the 30A/60A to be upgraded to 80A or 100A on a single phase.
A 22Kw wall charger does require 3 phase. Again you can ask to be upgraded. I suspect the local distribution grid is going to struggle though if/when every house in a street wants it.
root 3 is used for 3 phase power calcs as you don't actually get '3' times the power when its a 3 phase machine in delta wiring (you can in star but then the voltage is lower), but the voltage is 400 not 230
Yes, I know, that's why I said the root 3 bit is already taken into account in the 240V RMS. 400V / root(3) = 230.9V.
cook everything and eat it all if it's still cold or part thawed
anything you can't eat ,it's all cooked then , so freeze it
assuring you have a working freezer and just did a "Turbs" turned it off by accident
I don't think I closed the door properly last night.
So not only have I lost a lot of food, it's probably been running like the clappers ever since trying to keep the temp down and my next leccy bill will bankrupt me!
Is the SD OK? And the standard one supplied is quite small (but plenty big enough for UK and a few other countries at the same time). I haven't worked out yet how its locked to the car (presumably just an encrypted file with VIN etc).
I know you can copy the files to another SD, and that still works. I have shit load of 64GB cards, which easily allows all of Europe, so I copied my files to one of them, and then plugged that into the PC, and allowed it to download all European maps, and thats what we use.
I can post you one with our files on if you want a go at cracking how its locked to the car, but I have no idea what will happen if you get it wrong - presumably all Nav and all Jaguar Voice stuff will stop working until it sees a card that is locked to it.
Oh I don't know.... My estimation of William has gone up somewhat in the last few days.Nah, as the older sibling, he should have properly sorted out Harold with a good ol' bit of fisty cuffs every weekend. Its what brothers do.
Not had any issues with hers, but hers is the poor mans version (DTM will know the exact designation) that you plug the SD into a computer. I'm guessing yours is the OTA update version?
