September 15

thanks Opt, dont know yet, walls damp and water usage up. lukily two cw feeds to the prem so able to isolate.

Today, Western Power Distribution (WPD) in partnership with Ricardo Energy and Environment, confirmed the site for its innovative DC Share project, trialling a new method which will help deliver an estimated 217,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers in urban spaces across its licence area by 2023. The technology will help to get over 3 million EVs moving across the Midlands, South Wales and South West by 2023.

technology project to take place in UK....
The project will test a new method of pooling spare network capacity from several local substations, designed to enable low carbon infrastructure, such as rapid EV chargers or battery energy storage, to be quickly connected without the need for expensive network reinforcement.

The ban will mean that some of the world’s biggest mining companies, such as BHP, can never be part of Nest’s share holdings.

Hi Opt, just checking in from time to time for the next few weeks, alot of problems atm (water leak under a screed floor)
and family to tend to.
GU looks good I think opt.
Well done with AU mtb wish Id done the same would have been less stress in these uncertain times.

Interesting read dd...sadly ab thinks EVs with more range will be winwin for afc...likely the opposite is true imv.
he needs to crack on with building selling equipment for the 'known' market before the rug's pulled by the likes of Siemens, losing first mover each day...

Daz tends to have insightful balanced views, need more of those please instead of endless wishful thinking,
Does he hold shares... neither here nor there.

has said that traditional time of use tariffs that provide cheap off-peak energy during the night, 'like Economy 7', are a 'crude tool'.

1. Adaptive pricing tariffs.
2.During lockdown, abundant renewable generation and record low energy demand have created balancing challenges for the national electricity system operator.
3. EVs are only charging for 25% of the time they are plugged into home charge points.
4. EVs are plugged in on average every third day.
5. Adaptive pricing has worked well in Amsterdam where nearly all charging takes place on the street as off-street parking is rare.

BM2 "The world cannot rely on wind and solar alone" nobody has suggested such. Why do you see posts about other forms
of renewable energy as detrimental to AFC ? when most likely its essential and complimentary.
