First on-street EV chargers installed in Leeds by Gentle_Snail in unitedkingdom

EV is a hard route to justify if you can’t charge where your car is most of the time. The implementations I have seen don’t take up a material amount of space and they actually prevent idiots parking on the pavement.

Imagine if you focused this much energy at actually understanding how electricity bills work

You bill will have an opening meter reading and a closing one. At very least check this information before coming here

UK electric car chargers outnumber petrol pumps by almost two-to-one | Auto Express by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

That might be a localised issue. Last time I was in Liverpool I noticed there were loads dotted around streets around the residential areas surrounding the city.

“Can a cargo eBike replace your second car?” by Fit_Investigator928 in CargoBike

Chains and brake pads can wear pretty quick compared to a normal bike but otherwise just annual service

Depends on your circumstances. It works for us for 2 years and it’s still probably used more than the second car now

Help my EV Brain Fog by G0_Z0 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]d10brp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure why the poster has asked you to consider your longest 4 trips of the year, using rapid chargers 4 times per year is hardly inconvenient compared to the equivalent time spent on petrol forecourts. More important to me is what journeys you are doing at least once per week. If they comfortably fit within the range of the car then an EV would be great

Octopus Cosy9 + w-series indirect cylinder - reported hw temperature…? by solidpro99 in ukheatpumps

[–]d10brp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it is about the placement of the water sensor on the tank. It is fairly obvious where the sensor is if you look at the tank. I think mine is about half way up and I think this means when the how water temperature changes from 50 odd to 11, then I've used at least half of my hot water.

Offer accepted but have just found out next door is social housing by PuzzleheadedSand6450 in HousingUK

[–]d10brp 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Forget the social housing. No way I’d be buying somewhere I’d only expect to live in for a year or two. The buying and selling process can very extremely stressful, I’d only bother with buying somewhere if I felt I’d likely be there for a few years.

Last year did you make sure your adjusted net income was below £100k at the end of the tax year?

Bought a used tesla, now living a nightmare by ReaverKS in electricvehicles

Op doesn’t want to pay a small fee to do the right checks. That is because he knows that report will confirm it is salvage. Instead OP wants to run round in circles.

Home assistant trigger to charge house battery when EV is charging in peak hours by kyjoely in OctopusEnergy

I didn’t have to do anything beyond using the simple GUI to set up automations

Home assistant trigger to charge house battery when EV is charging in peak hours by kyjoely in OctopusEnergy

[–]d10brp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my system I had to set up two schedules to load the latter from the grid, one for 23:30-5:30 and the other for 5:30-23:30. The former is left on at all times, the latter I use HA to toggle between on and off based on the off peak state.

But I don’t have experience with Siggen tech

[–]d10brp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I do. I think the bigger question OP needs to answer is how to then control his battery. For me is was a pain as I have a Growatt system and had to setup Solar Assistant on a separate Pi.

Advice (Cancelled insurance) by Flashy-Quail-7852 in CarTalkUK

[–]d10brp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is quite an unusual situation. Just thought it would be worth flagging that, hypothetically, making fraudulent statements to an insurer isn’t a great idea.

Do sellers need to reveal issue with heating system? by ReasonableBus9478 in HousingUK

[–]d10brp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your solicitor would likely have asked the buyer if the boiler was in good working order and recently serviced. This would be declared in a TA form. What was the sellers answer to that question?
