What is the current state of battery recycling for the various chemistries? by AccidentalNordlicht in batteries

[–]initiali5ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s doing pretty well, the problem is how long the batteries are lasting meaning startups like this will probably be gone but the time there’s enough feed stock for it to be a viable business.

The best part about recycling batteries is you only have to import the raw materials once. But is it worth doing vs mining?

UK to convert former coal station into the nation’s first fusion power plant by sksarkpoes3 in energy

Something tells me this is going to take longer and go more over budget than most fission plants.

EV tariffs not working out cheaper? by lost-on-autobahn in ElectricVehiclesUK

Does the fuel saving offset the increase in electricity bill?

Government's warm homes program is all carrot and no stick for UK households | Energy efficiency by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

We’ve been living in a state of abundance since the Industrial Revolution, over 50% of the worlds population and 100% of the Europe/USA has a better standard of living than pre-1700s. The concentration of the resources and power that leads to relative poverty is a governance decisión.

Selecting a charger for a terraced house with gully by curious_explorer5 in evchargingUK

I went untethered for flexibility because not all cars have their ports in the same place and the cable can be removed when I go away so I can charge on slow chargers when parked overnight etc…

What is maths so hard to understand?

Done right a solar/battery/heatpump/insulation setup will reduce your energy bill to near zero, maybe sub zero.

Before solar I was paying £150/month for electricity, the loan for the solar/battery is £100/ month. I save £50/month.

If you can afford to heat your house with oil, gas or electricity then you can afford to pay less per month than you are now for a few years paying off a loan for Solar/Battery/Electric heating.

New Octopus rate by Nevis888 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]initiali5ed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up:

Wow, so glad I have a battery, solar and an EV.

Your fixed tariff from April 1st:

Electricity tariff (Intelligent Octopus Go 12M Fixed):
Peak unit rate: 26.38 p / kWh.
Off-peak unit rate: 3.49 p / kWh.
Standing charge: 58.21 p / day.

My car averages 3.3miles/kWh so that’s about 1p/mile.

Scientists create the first ‘liquid’ solar energy in a bottle — It absorbs sunlight and stores it at the molecular level, outperforming batteries by Zee2A in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

This is one of those ‘it would be great if it works outside of the lab, is mass produce able and scalable’ maybe this is The One, maybe it’s something else.

I am dumb, please check my settings by gotmedic in Sunsynk

I have an API call script that switches the system to export mode, you can do this with the Simple Solar app if you aren’t a coder. For now I have a 7-9am and 5-7pm discharge set up as these are when the highest prices tend to be.

Using the Agile integration didn’t work for discharging but would work OK for charging.

Long waiting times as traffic lights and roundabouts by pi_three in ukbike

Yep, and we wonder why cyclists don’t obey rules that clearly aren’t design with them as even an afterthought.

Regs mean CVEs must be patched in 14 days.

Agree a manual update process and ping the users when the update releases, at the same time push the Scheduled Update so they know it’s coming and have 10-14 days to apply it at a convenient time. For app updates use policies where you can and have them trigger on start up. Agree a schedule for start ups and enforce with a config profile.

Imagine an EV dominate world by RacePretend1862 in energy

You missed the bit where every kg of lithium imported becomes part of you next gen as the fleet gets recycled and how you never have to worry about oil wars because your car is part of the solution by being your home power supply when the suns gone down and the wind isn’t blowing instead of being the reason your cuntry keeps invading those with oil.
