Hyundai Ioniq 5

It's wrong Ken, it's 3.6kW. A reporter typo that hasn't been caught I think.

That moment when an aggressive driver in a 911 is swarming on your tail. Blow him completely out the water (twice) exiting roundabouts while he desperately tries to keep up then pull into the left hand lane to see what does. Q, tit flying past at 95mph, too late pal, beat (twice) and you know it... I do like power mode and twin motors when it's needed. The rest of the time I enjoy eco.

SWMBO said she couldn't believe what she was seeing and the way he behaved. Something about compensating...

Just read this thread from start to finish this evening (instead of watching a film) .... have to say I think I enjoyed reading this more!

It has given me quite a few ideas for the future. I am intrigued to know when you started your RE journey and how long it has taken you to get to this point .... (apologies if you have stated it somewhere else - but I could not find it)

I think the BEV is still a few years away for us .... but something to aim for!

Cheers, glad you are enjoying it, our RE journey started about 30 years ago with loft insulation and door seal kits on earlier properties. Really took off in the last 5 to 7 years though. It began as a 'good idea' then progressed to hobby and we are now at full on 'lifestyle'. Hoping to avoid full on religion mode.

A new first, battery stack and incoming PV from 1st PV system is covering the Easeeone EV charger to its max output of 7.4kW, wow!!

[Joeboy]

Remote control from Turkey, managed to get a peak of 5.6kW into the EV back in Scotland during its 1hr daily charge window.
Enjoyed testing the variable power on the easeeone charge unit as the solar gain changed and seeing it reflected on the Goodwe hybrid unit app display in battery discharge rate.

Pretty cool way to conduct RE business.

Also enjoying control of the storage heaters and hot water tank from here. This has been a good test.

I have even taken to taking our Turkish WiFi hotspot and a usb battery bank out and about with us along with swim shoes and waterbottle.. Even at sea we can control the power flows back at home in Scotland. Pretty impressed,

Done 1,050 miles in the I5 over the last month. Only 70kWh of that was bought from grid at 5.5p pwr kWh, the rest came from the home PV.

£3.85 fuel cost....
2.727 miles per penny.

If fuel is £1.90 per ltr that's £8.64 per gallon of diesel, that's 2,356 miles I can do at the same exchange rate for PV&off peak power purchase performance.

2,356 miles per gallon diesel cost....

Just checked mine out as the Tesla App gives similar info.

Last 31 days 289 kWh, I assume to be around 1156 miles.

19 kWh was bought via Gridserve (only required because I did not shut the car down at Gatwick correctly) = £8.22
15 kWh was bought at home on cheapslot for £1.13
The rest 255 kWh was from home PV.

£9.35 fuel cost ......
1.236p miles per pence

Using your £8.64 per gallon of diesel, only 1,068 miles per gallon but would have been 8,839 miles per gallon if I had shut down the TM3 properly at the airport.

Of course its all green crap, like the ripple wind turbine.

In saying all this, I forgot to switch off the EV charger last night so flattened the stack through the night and bought 2kWh from the grid this morning! Great range though.

EVs? They'll never catch on!
Solar panels?!! Who do they think they are?
Green crap!

Down to Glasgow this morning, early start.Autos on and I swear I only really woke up fully and went manual through Dundee for the roundabouts. 100 miles like it was nothing. Charging at 100kW+ in Perth at Ionity and having a coffee. Even have Classic FM on, the way to travel. Its like having a private 1st class train compartment.
