Re: Camelot Members Annual Green Electric Generation

Another EV has joined the family, I bought a Zoe R135 for Mum at the weekend, less than 7k miles on it. Mum doesn't have a drive and the parking is too far away from her space, but a charger is being fitted at my sister's later this month. Feels great to be retiring another ICE, especially as it was...

Very neat solution!

Re: Nowty Towers DIY Battery Project

Out of curiosity, what forklift fuse have you used, Nowty?
The ones I'm looking at appear to have a 11mm ID, whereas my battery terminals are 6mm.

The E-Niro has a heat pump too, but I have no real idea of the power rating.

Re: Wind proof bin store

Moments like this that I wish the mobile air conditioning unit I was given could heat as well.

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

Likely just EWI, or external wall insulation.
If you don't mind a potentially major change to your house appearance then it could make an enormous difference to heating requirements.

Re: Ripple energy "strike off"

Thanks Joe, definitely looking like some mismanagement combined with arrogance at Ripple - a dangerous combination.
