14.59 upgrading of standard domestic supplies to accommodate high amperage charging would be a collosal task. A standard dwelling is supplied by either 2 cores, or a concentric cable which consists of a core for the phase and the return or neutral conductor would be the sheath. Two phase supplies would be problematic unless studies carried out and designs in place to distribute the 100 dwellings evenly across three phases. Supplies need to be evenly distributed across all 3 phases to reduce imbalance, which causes problems further up the network with protective devices and cable characteristics. If you were to upgrade street of 100 houses, each and every house would need a new cable, new distribution board and re-configuration of existing circuitry to balance load and reduce risk of exposure to 400v. The network supply cable would need replacing back to its source, ie local sub-station with transformers and protective devices needing up-graded.
Maybe now is the time to invest in your regional DNO?

For those interested i paste a link to a Google search of stats showing EV sales up to 2021. Not sure of accuracy.

My post stemed from Phron's comment that EV's would be dominant by the end of the decade thus leading to a reduction in oil consumption. IMO an optimistic estimate, as I feel current roll-out will level out whilst all the points both of you have made are covered. It is an interesting topic which should perhaps continue in another chatroom but does ultimately reflect on the likes of 88, CP and the industry as a whole. Again IMO the launch of EV's and the billions invested in development has somewhat forgotten that we need a stable infrastructure to support it. Accompanying that is the need to sell the idea to the greater populous of the Americas, where oil is king. Filling the major cities and reducing emmitions is all good, but serving rural areas and developing commercial vehicles to haul freight over long distances is a long way off.

One thing I am happy to comment on is the progress of electric vehicles and their requirements. I work closely with network providers who are starting to raise concerns about the capabilities of network distribution, specifically in suburban areas pre 1980's . The average vehicle charger draws 32A with some larger vehicles 63A. The average pre-80's dwelling is fused at 63A, with consumption following some diversity averages 20A so adding charging points for houses that could easily have 2 to 3 vehicles is of major concern to provider's. Our networks have already seen a huge increase in consumption with tech development and demand for power. Adding more electric vehicles only compounds this problem.

Not many posts from me on this board, other than a few jokes as I refrain from commenting on learned, factual statements far above my knowledge. One thing is for sure tomorrow's probable drop will see me topping up for the awaited RNS, and if, (a big if imo) we end up waiting till the next freeze so be it. I have held faith for a few years and will continue to despite opinions.
I must say I have learned a great deal from this board since joining, and thank you all those that take time to post facts rather than garbage for amusement or antagonism.

Hold on there a min....just going to get another beer and some crisps....

00.34 it's easy to talk s'÷t 9-5 when it's not your own money. If you are working on your own interests you tend to think about it a bit more....

23.52 with news like that i'm happy for mine to sit in my SIPP for another 12 months bubbling away....

Beautiful.... over to you ASX let's see what the morning brings in Londinium.

A true loss for her Majesty. He was her rock and stood firm by her side.
RIP Sir.

Comparing this year's activity to previous years is a waste of time. The only certainty is when the weather turns, results are announced and the market reflects. This year, as Ddraig points out is a different scenario with DW's chosen words being left open to differing interpretations. The ratios of buys and sells are still for me showing interest, and that's a good thing for those who are holding long term. It's not over until the fat lady sings, and that chorus will come out soon.

12.40 exactly. THEY ARE NOT FINISHED YET!
Back in the 80's some states of the USA banned Black Sabbath albums because apparently played backwards at 33 rpm led to devil worship. We all know 88 are not famed for their clarity and content of an RNS.

I'm feeling something "else" is about to be announced. I for one was looking to park them in the bottom draw until October then brush off the dust. If the share had its own mind, would it be flirting with producers saying come and get me?

Tik,toc..Tik-toc...;-)

Enjoy your day, aussies!

csw12 just finishing off my bank holiday beer and preparing for the universe of 88 to unfold tomorrow. I for one will get some sleep, as IMHO i very much doubt the likes of BP, Connoco or any other is going to buy it out during ASX open. Had fun chatting, that's me now for the trading week as i don't get too involved in daily chat.....lol.

I didn't imply, did i? I'm jesting, but.... i was there last year, and the year before....and the year before that lol. I love DW. May he retire in a bed of roses expensive whatevers rock his boat.

I wouldn't blame them if they were all back in their digs having a beer and giggling over the s^*t that gets written on this and other sites.
Do your research. Buy your shares. Sell them when you want to.

"Oh, and by the way.... our mates up the road might not be far behind us, but they are just waiting for tomorrow's market to ramp and make a few bob as a little bonus. They are fit for the next freeze as well!"
