Cold start today. Lots of renewable power used to thor out our car. The cabin heater and rear window use a lot of power.

I don’t normally plug companies but we really do need people to ditch fossil fuels so You can use my referral link to get 1,000 free Supercharger miles on a new Tesla: https://t.co/wi8S0JwkhG

@raimonick @EVNewsDaily @Gill_Nowell @The_PlugSeeker @KateFantom Perhaps Tesla will rent you FSD for those long trips where you would rather someone else do the driving? Or you simply want the car to drive itself back from the airport to avoid parking charges when you are away on holiday? Remember Tesla can switch it on and off at will

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

Congratulations to all at Tesla for another great result. I don’t think anyone now believes there is a short or long term future for ICE cars (including legacy auto executives) 😊👍🏻 although I hope this doesn’t become a one horse race 🤔

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

Isn’t Mother Nature amazing 😉 found this busy lot on my garden gate.

@DickWinchester @iammarklawson @FullyChargedDan Sorry I just can’t see it, but whatever happens Electric drive is the only way we can go from here.

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@DickWinchester @iammarklawson @FullyChargedDan With respect I would be willing to wager we are still saying Hydrogen is the fuel of the future in 50 years 🤔. The reality is it will have applications but electricity is where my money is at.

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@FullyChargedShw @FullyChargedDan @bobbyllew @JordeeBrompton @myenergiuk Another fantastic episode Robert 👍🏻 and touching on a subject that I suspect in five-ten years will be as normal as say mobile phones are today. Keep on pioneering because we all love it 😊

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@lakes_eco_van It’s a shame the other bigger supermarkets aren’t as committed to EVs 🤔😧. They all need a kick up the backside and told how it’s done.

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

Stumbled across this old Ecotricity ad today from 2014. Think they need to make some more updated follow ups? It was a classic, Anyone remember it? https://t.co/maibbaczGF

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

A step in the right direction 👍

[Colin Mckerracher @colinmckerrache]

Very cool

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@yorkshire_free @myenergiuk @SMAsolar Looks like you need a double Element Emerson to soak up a bit more spare power 🤔. 👍

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@ecocars1 @myenergiuk @SunampLtd Brilliant 👍😊

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@KonaElectric Well spotted 👍🏻 yes I restrict the charge rate at the car so the maximum output of our home battery inverter is not exceeded. If a heavy cloud stops solar generation This stops me importing power by accident 😊. today with so much sun ☀️we could have upped the charge rate to max

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@KonaElectric EV top trumps 🤣 😅🤪 love it

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@ecocars1 @KateFantom @myenergiuk @SunampLtd @eLEJOG @JordeeBrompton Today’s looking pretty good for ev charging too thanks to @myenergiuk @JordeeBrompton and having battery storage means we can charge the car faster (I set charge rate below batter system max output) and open up storage space to catch power when the car is full. 👍🏻😊 win-win

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

@TheSolarShed @TigoEnergy I’ve seen ours hit 4.6 kw once this year. Yours is obviously in a better orientation than ours. 👍🏻😊

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

How close do we get to max theoretical power on our solar PV. Our system has a sticker max rating of 4.6Kw/p. They are two years old and we still see 4.4-4.5kw. Added to this they are a little dusty today. Is panel degradation even a thing?

[Richard Graham @Richard28861]

This is what 400kW of Solar PV looks and sounds like at full chat 😊👍🏻. It’s pretty warm in here too.
