Re: Tesla launches the V4 power cabinet...

I charge for free at work so don't really mind whatever the cost is on the motorway. I do think the higher charge speeds are very beneficial, it just makes it easier and nicer. I guess it's very vehicle, regularly and journey specific. In my experience the Tesla for all stations are full and 359kwh ...

Re: Are people really so dim?

The only thing close is that lots of countries operate tiers based on the size of your available supply. For instance in France contracted power capacity in kVA sets your Tarif Bleu days. 3-6 kVA is small for instance and 300 Blue Days are cheapest, 40 odd White Days and about 20 red Days of the hig...

Re: Lucid comes to Europe

They won't run out of cash, they will just do a large deal with someone like VW. The engineering is too good to ignore.

Re: Solaredge inverter start up voltage?

Most SolarEdge inverters are designed to operate with a fixed DC input voltage to ensure DC to AC conversion efficiency.

Cant you change your array to meet it earlier in the day?
