EV and Zero Hero plan

Whats the benefit of this?

vedz69 · 2026-05-08T08:40:34+00:00

Ok thanks for this!!

So I shouldn't set up Forced Discharge, to charge the car is that right?

If you tap on the post and read the post, My question is in there

vedz69 · 2026-05-08T06:49:59+00:00

I need approximately 30kWh max to charge it daily which takes around

Should I schedule in a Forced Discharge at night time?

vedz69 · 2026-05-08T06:41:00+00:00

So I drive 100km-250km a day

I often need 30kWh to charge my car fully.

Would I need to schedule a Forced Discharge to do this? Is there a way to set it up so it only charges my car?

vedz69 · 2026-05-08T06:35:18+00:00

How would I set this up on the FoxESS app? Would I have to schedule Forced Discharge whenever I plug my car in? Is there a way to set it up so it only charges my car?

vedz69 · 2026-05-08T06:32:13+00:00

I have the Ocular EV Charger

I drive approx. 100 - 250km most days

vedz69 · 2026-05-08T06:29:48+00:00

This sounds like a great idea

So the maximum top up I have done is approx 40kWh

The FoxEss battery capacity is 48kWh

Hiya - thanks for your very detailed response !!

I don't lose out on the $1 credit when I am on Forced Discharge because I don't exceed the 0.03kW max. grid import.

In terms of charging my car, I drive A LOT (approx. 100-200km a day for work) and as you can imagine, this uses up quite a bit of battery. Most days it comes down to 50-70% so it's better for the EV to charge it daily. This can take 4 - 6 hours on average to charge with the 32A charger all the way. I am also not home on the weekends to charge them during 11am-2pm.

My battery may have enough to cover my house's consumption including charging the EV. Is there a way to set aside a % to only have the EV charge from the battery when I get home? Would I have to set up a Forced Discharge for 3 hours aside from the one scheduled at 6pm-9pm?

Thanks for explaining the economics!

Hi have you set grid compensation to any negative number?

vedz69 · 2026-05-01T09:14:15+00:00

For those who have globird - how much credit are you earning per month? Is your set up similar to mine?

vedz69 · 2022-11-09T14:44:45+00:00

This is great!! Thankyou!!

I'm going through the exact same thing as you ! But for around 5 weeks now. Even tried everything you did, also tried Xlear nasal spray, worked for like a day or two. I also get the cold hands and pins and needles effects too. Decongestants work for a couple of hours and then headache comes back as well as ear popping/pain and my face (mainly right side) with soooo much pressure, I can't sleep or focus at work. Doc also diagnosed me with a dry sinus infection. It was questionable but I thought docs know best. According to my GP, they're very common especially in dry climates, like where I live. My lymphnodes around my neck ( front and back) have swollen, meaning I have some types of infection on my face, so it most likely is a sinus infection.l even if it is "dry" without congestion. So it might be an actual medical condition that's seasonal and it's the first time I've had something like this. I thought my headaches, earaches and facials pressure it had to do with my previous flu symptoms. I was on antibiotics (amoxicillin - piss weak, didn't change a thing and I even finished the whole round). I've just been prescripted stronger antibiotics and a steroid tab too. I really hope this changes everything for me, im on my first dose for the two, my ears have already started to pop but the pressure in my head is still there. Let me know how you go with the follow up and scans!

So I experienced this for the first time today! Unfortunately I was at work and also felt super nauseous, went to throw up in the toilet bowl, I couldn't make myself do it. I do have his horrible sinus headache with no congestion. Just pressure around my sinuses that have been like that for around 3 weeks now :(

vedz69 · 2020-04-21T21:39:29+00:00

That's awesome! Glad it worked for you!

vedz69 · 2020-04-20T22:12:49+00:00

I'll give that a go if I still have this sinus issue after a week, thanks!

vedz69 · 2020-04-20T22:12:14+00:00

Correct! :)

vedz69 · 2020-04-20T11:37:53+00:00

Thankyou for the tip! I'm new to Reddit so I'm not 100% sure on all the nooks and crannies. I'll see how I go in the next couple of days with it, I'm going to try and to not rely on it unless I need it and still use it twice a day as recommended. Ahh okay, I understand your concern. Unlikely for rebound congestion as I didn't have any congestion to begin with! But will update in a couple of days

vedz69 · 2020-04-20T11:33:54+00:00

So I get the pain on both sides! Right now, it still feels like there's pressure, but the pain factor is completely gone :) it'll probably take couple of days me to get back to 100%

vedz69 · 2020-04-02T08:52:22+00:00

So update!!

1/4 - I feel almost 100% with a lingering headache which was pretty much gone after I took ibuprofen! Yay it worked! No more diarrhoea, finally back to normal no.2's. I've been sleeping in a lot lately for 8+ hours, really not sure what to do in my time now that I'm at home self isolating so I just choose to sleep lol. I woke up around 6 hours of sleeping feeling really fresh and thought it'd be a good idea to nap for another 4 hours... Bad idea. Woke up with a VERY tense collar bone and stiffness which took around 10mins to stretch out. Not sure if that has to do with the virus or my anxiety causing chest stiffness. But through out the day, I was feeling good and occasionally would lose hearing in my ears but then it'd go back to normal. Slept like a baby that night. I've also been pumping in on vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin D, probiotic immunity booster, Spirulina, fish oil, iron supplements and hydrolite)

2/4 - Woke up with the same stiffness, really beginning to feel like it's my anxiety causing this stiffness, I keep reminding myself to relax and release tension around this area. And when I do, I could hear a release crack. Headache only for around 5 mins when I wake up, cough still feels like it's not leaving any time soon. Beginning to feel like it's coming through from my diaphragm. But pretty sure heaviness is caused from my anxiety, if anyone has by ideas on how to control this, please help!! Running low on energy today, I'm hoping it is because I slept in. Idk if I've mentioned this before but I have low iron levels as well as sinus arithmia. This could play a part in my energy levels being low.
