Fully Charged Live! 2023
In this video I go through some of the highlights form fully charged live south 2023. I did wonder if I would enjoy this years show as much as last year, as I worried it would be more of the same. However I was pleasantly surprised to see that the show packed a lot of different things in this year, as a result of the ever advancing EV industry.

Charging Fail - MG ZS EV Tesla Supercharging
Переглядів 3,3 тис.Рік тому
I wasn't planning on making this video, I didn't bring any of my kit with me on this trip because I thought it was going to be a breeze. Heading to Woking I knew even with the poor winter range the car would easily get there with range to spare. The plan was to charge on the way home at a Tesla public supercharger, where there would be 10 stalls to choose from! This didn't go to plan, for some ...

Now that it is fixed what should I do now, i'm not keen on keeping the car so what are my options, let m...
MG ZS 72 kWh EV Road Trip Costs - HOW MUCH!?
Переглядів 2,9 тис.Рік тому
In this short video we take a quick look at the costs of this road trip and why it really doesn't matter that much for me. Most of my charging is done at home on the very cheep octopus GO tariff, therefore the odd trip out using rapid chargers is not a huge deal in that context.

I also forgot about the gpu chips being lower lol. Removed the heatsink and cleaned it up again and put on some pads. I just left the cpu attached to the heatsink for that. Luckily it all worked out just fine! My iMac is rocking now and for quite cheap too! This computer is a tough job but I haven't broke it yet lol. So far I've changed the ssd to a 1tb, added a 2tb sata ssd, 32gb ram and now an i7 8700. And my screen is held on with electrical tape cause my double stick ain't holding lol. But good nough!

    Here’s the terrible thing, it’s better by far than a scooter or a Twizy. If you could guarantee it wouldn’t end up on a motorway, it’s be absolutely fine. I wonder what it does to insurance. It’s weird, it seems insurance companies don’t believe zero stars will affect their payouts? ! My daughter’s costed insurance for this, it seems no worse than any other electric car. But insurance is not the logical business the companies like to imply of course. It’s a rotten score, but if my daughter turned round and said she’s getting a scooter (I mean a real, decent-wheeled thing), we’d probably throw money at her to induce buying a Zoe. It’s all relative. And the inevitable problem is, if you select a car based on British motorway driving, you’re going to buy a big used Volvo, aren’t you? It’s a very big issue, and yet, is it. Sliding doors I think, what’s the alternative, is the question.

    We were part of the trial as well. WTG / VTH is good, but you'll find you still need a home battery like we also found out.... Also be very carefull of voltage, remember each grid tied device increases voltage we had solar, home battery and car all pushing power out and our voltage spiked up to 257v normally 240, this damaged alot of equipment in our house. Zero help from the installers as they blamed each other and I ended up installing a voltage optimiser to reduce the voltage by 10v. Also the VTG home unit doesn't output less then 6 amps. my home base load is 4 amps, I was told once load goes over 6 the unit switches on .... not ideal as the baseload during the day was my main worry.... however good for high loads like kettle and cooker :) hopefully all this has been addressed with the new unit and I will be buying one.

      They definitely messed up! You may have dc cabling back to a single inverter. If they have been cut it’s quite simple to remake the connectors on the wires, although the contractor should know better. Just make sure they are the right way round amzn.eu/d/iRdvNWX The connections are tricky to undo if you don’t know what you’re doing so they may have opted to cut them.

      Hi thanks, Indeed 250 would probably be a good yard stick, in summer. Winter probably 200, as it lacks a heat pump. it’s always better to miss trust the manufacturers claimed range. However it’s a lot closer than I imagined. The range is beyond what we need for daily use and for those rare cross country trips it’s further than our normal rest stops.

    I have a Zoe but no Solar. I always assumed Solar charging could be problematic, simply because the car may have to deal with an interrupted supply i.e. as clouds pass by. Frankly, I would want the car to stop a charging session if the supply can't deliver the requested current - in case this is due to a faulty supply. Also - perhaps you might have tried a full reset before visiting the dealer by disconnecting both the 12V battery and the traction battery isolator under the driver footwell. Just a thought.
