Newbie to EVs. Narrowboats. Not as grumpy as I would like to be!

@santanderukhelp Do you know what the expected wait time is?

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@santanderukhelp Is there an issue with the chat in the app? I’ve been waiting 90 mins for a person to get to me ☹️

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@seatsixtyone That and trying to guess the temperature on the clock as you pass (and being annoyed if you miss it and only get to see the time)…

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@OctopusEnergy Love a bit of squirrelling 🐿️

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@evmanuk @MichelinTyres How are you finding the e primacy on the s**tbox? I’m pondering whether to put them on rather than the current PS3 when I fit some end of the month

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@speak2thegeek I didn’t get a green-ness rating at all ☹️
The usage figure is also 16-22 sept for me and doesn’t account for the 112.91 of export same week

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@driverbod125 805 even have the GWR ATP iso switch on the back wall too

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands

You’ve put up loads of these signs along the old main line (and one on the new main line at Albion Jn) and every single one says Brades Hill when it should be Brades Hall 🫣

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@CanalRiverTrust @CRTWestMidlands wolves lock 12 the by wash is blocked or something. It’s all overflowing around here. Can’t be doing the structure any good

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

Any signs of the River Dee link ever getting reopened @CanalRiverTrust @IWA_UK

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@driverbod125 You’re missing out on the satisfaction of looking like a local by pressing the door open button before it stops so the door opens as soon as release is given though 😆

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@driverbod125 I couldn’t remember the exact rules!

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@driverbod125 I was expecting you to have gone back for Metrolink trams - having seen the Sheffield one I wondered if the NR infrastructure from Deansgate Jn to Altrincham counted 🤔

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@HullTeslaModel3 @OctopusEnergy Mine was flaky at best ever since whatever Tesla changed that meant I had to re-connect octopus to Tesla. Have now switched integration to Zappi and it works fine just annoying you have to keep changing the “charge to add”.

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@railnigel Good lord you aren’t half pounding the miles in. Best I’ve done along there in a day is Kidsgrove to Middlewich!

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@firstdirecthelp Is this genuine or a scam please?

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@CRTWestMidlands every one of these signs between Brades Hall and Tipton refer to Brades Hill junction not Brades Hall (not been towards Smethwick but presume others likely the same)

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@speak2thegeek @OctopusEnergy Interesting. What always stumps me is working out how behaviour changes depending on tariff. Last summer I went on flux, trickle charge car on solar during day as required, but force export at peak export rate. But on OI do more at night

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@EVPuzzle It does feel wrong doesn’t it.

I’m just reaching the point where I can turn down overnight battery charge a little. My goal has always been minimal import but it’s a dilemma at the moment of financial gain over “green” as you say

[Richard @RichSmith1981]

@HullTeslaModel3 From the photo it looks like the main incoming cable has no gland (and the mounting screws have no seal either). Perhaps sealing it correctly would stop them and moisture getting in?
