And with non green Nuclear electricity possibly too?depends on the car
Only available on Chademo charge ports at present, the CCS as on Porsche is not yet specified for Vehicle to Grid. If you have a Zappi or similar charger, a powerwall then Octopus Agile tariff allows charging at times when the grid is over capacity generating and will pay up to about 5 p for you to use the electricity. It is cheaper than paying generators to switch off.im thinking the car (s) could be used as a power store for solar on days it’s not being used and pimp power into the grid
a car that earns you cash when not being used ? i have. friend who works for a company that are going to provide such contracts
Does charging and discharging the battery not shorten battery life of what will surely be a very expensive battery? How much miles charge would you want to keep in reserve for unplanned emergency use, things like when you need a pint of milk, to escape a family argument or are having a heart attack?im thinking the car (s) could be used as a power store for solar on days it’s not being used and pimp power into the grid

800Volts? That has the potential to give a hullava kick to the first responders pulling you out when you wreck it...!Enjoy! I am sure you will, have had the Tesla S for 4 1/2 years now and still enjoy every day. Hope you specced the right tyres
Listed Buildings will require Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent for Roof Mounted and Ground Mounted Panels as their Permitted Development rights are restricted.listed buildings sadly don’t, I believe, get any benefit.
@George from SJM Planning would you agree?
As soon as the airbags go off, or the car is off, there is no more than 12 volts outside the battery pack. There are contactors on both positive and negative feeds, and these are inside the pack itself. There are also "First Responder Loops", prominently placed loops of 12 volt wire, which when pulled or cut will isolate the 800v supply, as additional security.800Volts?

Seen as you can charge a lot of tesla cars for free at a tesla charge point ,charge car at point ,take home ,plug in and use free eleccy ?I have looked at batteries for short term storage, ie charging at noon with PV storing, till discharge in the grid at Peak hours 5-7 . Then recharging at night From cheap power and discharging again At the morning peak.
I have yet to find any way of doing this on a small scale to earn a return even though there is a margin of 8-10 p at times.
Must put mt name down on one of those cars though
Alrighty in theory until something conductive impaled the battery pack in an unfortunate place.. If the 12V circuit kill wiles are so prominent are you not at risk of someone disabling your car whilst you are shopping in Waitrose....

An impaled battery is just like an impaled fuel tank - a lot of stored energy which can catch fire! There is more energy in a fuel tank, as less than 30% of it ever gets to the wheels, while an ev has over 90% going to the wheels, therefore less energy needed for storage.Alrighty in theory until something conductive impaled the battery pack in an unfortunate place..

I see under the Green Deal announced in the summer statement that domestic solar qualifies
Im thinking I could maybe get up to 5k for solar on my house ? @Exfarmer maybe ?
can anyone recommend an advisor or installer I should speak to about this please ? scheme isn't open yet as far as I can see but nothing to stop planning ready for it I guess ?
I'd put the charger on the farms 3phase supply if possible, gives a faster charge I think. Panels could either boost the farm supply or just the normal houshold circuits.
Trying to charge a car via solar could mean using domestic day rate electric everytime a cloud passes over.
Depends on your tarrifs etc,charger size vs panel output . So many variables.
I'm trying to run heat pumps off solar but supply and demand don't follow, sunny = less heat pump use to heat sheds.
I just see the solar as away of reducing the annual bill, pretending the solar runs a heat pump/charges a car isn't quite true for most
What is cost to charge fully car batteries?
Most domestic tariffs are 15-30p kwhr atleast.

i've got 3 phase in my garages at home so charger is going in there, car will charge at nights so solar would not charge the car but it would reduce my day time use bills
