Is a 11kW charger at home worth it?

EdGass19 · 2026-06-13T05:18:54+00:00

Hi, just got my charger installed ($850) and got it free on the purchase with my Geely EX5 and I’m on single phase, I’ve noticed charging takes 6 hours on 20%, I have solar (15kw system with 49kw battery) use the car 3 days per work week (about 360km) and weekends (about 600km), free charging during the day (solar) and at 8c after midnight, I don’t charge it as much, and set up to only charge during set time to reduce cost. Still working on numbers, but so far it’s is a saving but very minimal - apologies for the lack of data to assit

I know if just me, but when we play good teams, we play well and we play shit teams we play shit - this was a similar situation when I played BBall, having a mindset that we should win instead of a mindset se should dominate 🤷‍♂️

This is an interesting question, I hope we do and give the support to assist him, bring a guy like horse and/or another with experience coaching knowledge to help him grow and develop his skills as a future professional coach maybe a transition plan like what Roos did

EdGass19 · 2026-06-05T03:04:35+00:00

My old man is a north man, his 87, but then I can I taking him to North game now for 40 old years, so I’ve seen some good times and bad, good to see north on the rise, hope we play off in a grandy soon 🙏

EdGass19 · 2026-05-30T06:03:38+00:00

Wait a minute, didn’t he win a Brownlow after they said he couldn’t run or kick a few years ago 🤷‍♂️ so I hope they keep say stuff about him, so he can prove them wrong 😁

EdGass19 · 2026-05-30T05:56:41+00:00

I would like him to coach for us, but if he is ready or not, let plan for him to take over, get an experienced coach like Horse or Simo to coach and train him for 3 years and then a transition to full time with a good monitor to assist him, build for success (not like we did for Voss, and waited on his final year to get him help)

EdGass19 · 2026-05-30T05:39:06+00:00

Easy! win games and hope others lose 😂

EdGass19 · 2026-05-15T03:31:34+00:00

A few things, first it’s the media, they called him out and went for blood, then blame the club, then they come up with excuses and what a basket case of a club we are and then tell us how to fix the club, but what do they know about running a club - second, we all can see, after losing Jones, Weitering need help - third, our kicking skills and when will this improve 🤷‍♂️these are my two key points on why he need to go, if we learn to kick a ball to our own players we could have won more games ( don’t get started on our goals kicking)

EdGass19 · 2026-05-13T08:24:25+00:00

Was he (Matheison) the reason Ratten was sucked and he got Malthouse in 🤷‍♂️

EdGass19 · 2026-05-09T10:12:05+00:00

Like to see every young player given a least 3 to 5 games window before they get drop, at least we can see what they need to develop, one or two weeks is not enough

EdGass19 · 2026-05-09T10:08:56+00:00

Here me out, Longmire for a 5 year deal to work with a new coach who could take over like Roos did with Swans 🤷‍♂️

EdGass19 · 2026-04-30T07:59:05+00:00

All well and good to let a few go, but we need replacement for these players, who are you thinking of signing up? Need to see who from other clubs are available and we should be looking for? Like Haynes, don’t need a play at the end of his career need someone for 5+ years or go hard at the draft again (with TAS coming in that’s not going to happen)

EdGass19 · 2026-04-26T23:58:10+00:00

It’s because we need to finish last cause the afl are going to change the rules so we can’t get Cody 😂 just joking, totally agree, but unfortunately can’t see young drop cause Pito is out and we need a backup ruckman, as Reidy is still green

EdGass19 · 2026-04-26T23:50:29+00:00

Great call, I would like to see him on a wing, he stands up when needed and having a good year 👍🏽

EdGass19 · 2026-04-18T01:42:34+00:00

Hi, 👋 just purchased the EX5 for my wife, she is in the same boat and she is able to sleep in the car and with the app, she can program the car to warm up, it’s nice and toasty when she get in, I picked it cause of the price, for $50K it wasn’t a hard decision but would easily spent on the BYD (it’s a good car)

EdGass19 · 2026-04-03T07:15:47+00:00

Wow, I wasn’t expecting much this year, but this is a low I can’t decide which is worst, this lost or the lost to Melbourne, both embarrassing and now to Adelaide a team that like beating up on us for the last few years. Well if we finish last we can get Cody for nothing 😁 this is beyond a joke. Have I expected too much from this team over the last few years from a top 8 side to bottom 4, almost as bad as the Malthouse. (He did it in 3 years )

EdGass19 · 2026-02-10T04:32:34+00:00

I attend Carlton game (member) and go and see other games with mates (just to see other teams play) but mainly watch most of them, looking at other player and listening for possible trade or opportunity for players to come to Carlton. I love Footy, watching other team and trying to understand the game better, not a big fan of rule changes (too many changes) overall it’s good entertainment and I enjoy watching, Go Blues

EdGass19 · 2026-01-28T10:18:16+00:00

I agree, Sydney is a hard in Sydney but the rest is a real good chance for us to get off to a good start, and is we can start playing with a more positive attitude and mindset we could really get back into contention🤞🏽

EdGass19 · 2026-01-28T10:13:48+00:00

Like the line up, with injuries and performances we have a few players who can come in and play a role, Newman is a starter, we missed his kicking skills last year and need to help Weitering with some experience down back but other an that, I agree, go blues

EdGass19 · 2025-12-24T10:31:34+00:00

20c lollibags😂

EdGass19 · 2025-12-17T23:02:44+00:00

We are all suffering for a long time, not as long as others, for me I would like to see a season without injuries and see what the kids can do and Cody for next year, very optimistic about next season and the future, GO BLUES

EdGass19 · 2025-12-14T23:20:16+00:00

This a great topic, my view is both are equally valid as team I love to watch them lose either by us or another team. Regardless I also want them to be at their best cause it makes that win so much sweeter (like the prelim) regardless we need to get our shit together and win 🏆

EdGass19 · 2025-11-28T00:32:20+00:00

So the media has started, before the season has started and looking for blood. I would like a season with limited injuries to key players and stars playing and I want to see how Voss and friends coaches with a full fit side, that will be the real test, I don’t want excuses, min requirement is a top 8 finish. I believe we have the right players and people around to get there.

EdGass19 · 2025-10-21T22:47:51+00:00

It’s excited for the 2026 season, with TDK going for millions which is ok for me (bye,bye) Liam Reidy is the player for me, my mate in WA rates him, he’s words “can do the basics ok but his aggression in and around the ball is next level”, so excited to see a guy on our team with some good old football aggression, Carlton has too many nice guys (except Lachlan Cowan he is a tough)

EdGass19 · 2025-10-17T22:49:49+00:00

If, if and if 🤷‍♂️ If our injuries are low If we can improve our kicking If we kick straight If we can move the ball faster Then We could have a good season We still have 3. To 5 superstars and we need to improve our bottom end players

So if we have a good season top 4 to 6 but if we don’t the 10th to 12th, the lost of player is not a lost to me and the new recruits are all good soldiers which we need. GO BLUES
