🤣 No, there are a lot of negative comments about lithium. The truth is it is still overall way less damaging than what fossil fuels do to the environment, and the carbon footprint print and damage that oil extraction and refining does is extremely harmful - if huge amounts of lithium being mined is pretty insignificant. That being said, batteries in the next 10 years will probably move away from lithium. And let’s be honest, no one has questioned lithium when it’s in their phones and laptops which until recently have simply been discarded. I’ll post some links to good educational videos later.

@@MorzakEV Thank you sir very informative

@@colindoherty1891 This is great video explaining the fundamentals around oil based fuels vs EVs: th-cam.com/video/1oVrIHcdxjA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jI_Qp8h9EyfnZtVn And this is great video busting the common EV myths: th-cam.com/video/gXdLA63zZFE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ae4Rf_l5VTHBdItS

Yours must be a different model. This video is quite old now unfortunately.

@@MorzakEV do you have an email address to which I can send a video/photo? Brand new car picked up thinking it would be a breeze charging at home, now I’m at a service station charging it 😂

@@andymckenna5387 I can take a look but I stopped fitting these a long time ago because of issues like this. Go to our website Morzak.co.uk and send me the video and if I can help I will.

It’s a great charge point

Thanks for the comment, and so glad it helped. That’s the reason I started posting videos. 👍

Of course!

Im not an expert but if I had a gun to my head, I would guess technically and sadly yes, this might be correct, and would not fall under the building regulations. It seems very short sight to not even put in ducting though for future expansion.

😂

No, they've been up there a few years now, and we've never had an issue. The holes are not actually that small, they're about 20-25mm and there is one front and back for each trough in the bucket, so quite a few holes.

Wacka wacka

It was very difficult to see anything until I put my screwdriver all the way down there, and you can understand why they were reluctant to try that.

Great chatting at Everything Electric!

None whatsoever, and we've had a lot of storms. We used 3 bags around the edges though. Just bear in mind, your position and building height and other factors may affect the wind loadings, and your building structure must be able to accommodate the weight.

We fitted the JA solar 325W Monos. There's a good guide here for what will fit: www.pluginsolar.co.uk/?product=renusol-console-5200-tubs-for-ground-or-flat-roof-mount Just make sure your panels have mounting holes in them already.

Glad this helped. This video has helped a lot of people which is great!

Awesome

Where the cable needs to run from your consumer unit to where the EV charger will go.

Great!

So glad it helped

Awesome, glad to help

That’s not really true. Any electrician can install any charge point as long as they’ve done the ev course as they’re deemed competent. Any installer can do the Indra training (online and it takes about an hour) and you will also get the extended warranty. This is the same for pretty much all charge points unless they’re cheap rubbish.

😂

Yeah, that back slot was nasty. I didn’t bother on our second Tesla.

You can only really prioritise between devices that directly communicate, such as all myenergi devices. It’s a sad and disappointing fact in this modern age that these devices do not take to each other. I have caught eyes on a gadget though which can “trick” any device in to prioritising when needed. More on that in the coming months or later this year.

Can't wait to know about that device, better than selling my hypervolt and buying a zappi

I believe the Garo RCBOs do not have the facility to click down, but I could be wrong. Designs change and evolve all the time.

You're welcome!

We might have gotten the e308 if we didn't need so many miles, but we're so glad we got the Model 3

Yes, you are correct.

I agree, although there’s enough competition out there that if electricians are charging extortionate rates, as long as a customer does their due diligence, they should be able to get something decent for a decent price.

We install a lot of different chargers. Indra is fairly popular

@@MorzakEV is this the Smart Pro or Lux?

@@330d5mainly the lux now

@@MorzakEV ok great, you don't see many videos on the Smart Lux

Yeah, very true. I did one here: th-cam.com/video/iGc9sCJZb5Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KluhOXKQZHu2pnhM

Yes, from 1st Feb

​@@MorzakEV I messaged company and it does not seem to be that straightforward. I have batteries in place at the moment and wish to buy more. Connect up my self but I don't seem to be offered the vat free prices. And I'm missing something?

@AdrianMcDaid sorry, yes, it needs to be a supply and installation. Just buying a product does not qualify. You would need to contact an installer like ourselves, it would probably be cheaper even with the installation.

You need to do it on the app

Nice! I did this again recently, and didn’t think to do that!

@@MorzakEV how have you found the longevity of the vinyl plate? I am still considering it!

@cyberricki the first one we had lasted for 3 years with no issues and 30’000 miles, so no problem at all!

I think you’re missing the point - if you’re not getting an ev, you wouldn’t stick an ev charge point on in the first place. And most people will be getting evs in the next 10 years.

@@MorzakEV hiya no what I'm saying is most people won't get an ev so the rest who do and just want a 'dumb' charger to use will not crash the grid

The numbers are already getting to a point where it has a significant affect on the grid. There are around 1.5 million EVs including (half a million PHEVs) on the UK’s roads today, and if this wasn’t put in place, the tax payer would be paying for infrastructure upgrades which are not required with this simple introduction.

One more thing to bear in mind - the uks energy production is shifting more and more towards green generation - which isn’t as stable as fossil fuels, but smart charging will help enable this transition

I wouldn’t install one now after my experiences

Except you’ll miss out on all the potential savings.

We average about 9p per kilowatt all year using our off peak effectively

It means the rcd needs replacing at least as it is unlikely to trip in the event of a fault. Of course, make sure the power is on before pressing the test button. Sometimes, cycling the switch a few times loosens the mechanism and it will start working again.

@@MorzakEV I will give that a try, although the place I bought it from said it's more likely a problem with the mode 3 controller (due to a compatibility issue with new cars)

Ah, ok, so if your charger isn’t working, then it’s not the rcd more than likely. The RCD will either be on (switch up) and will not trip, but will work fine, or off (switch down) and will be completely dead.

@@MorzakEV Ok, the car is still charging ok, but I have had occasional problems. I also get problems if I go over 22A. Mostly i charge at 10A as time is not an issue and we pay less for lower hourly consumption averages

Yeah, definitely nothing to do with the RCD or switch gear then. There's not much to the role units so a control module is the most likely issue. The only other possible scenario is a loose connection. The older roles were known for an issue with the neutral cable getting hot and burning which could cause funny issues. If your confident enough, you could turn the power off to the charge point at the mains, and remove the cover. You'll know if there's any damage as it will have that horrible burning cable fishy smell, and you'll see the wires going in to the the RCD are brown or blackened.@@raafox

Yes! Great news!

Try telling solar storage vendors. 1st Feb 0/% vat they wont listen. but i see China vendors adverticing batteries at zero vat.@@MorzakEV

It’s tough, so much choice. The hypervolt is a very well built charger.

EV Cables are one way, there's a plug one end and a socket the other

Sorry to hear that. That sounds unusual, and these situations need resolving much more quickly really. I think think by rights, depending on the existing demand of your household, there is a way you could install one sooner.
