I'm waiting on delivery of a Volvo EV, need to organise a charging point to be fitted, who did the guys with EV's use?
I used Pod Point. Pre installation survey process was simple. Turned up at the appointed time, did a good job. No problems.Originally Posted by mrbluejay
We have that, too. They fit a new mini consumer unit thing so you don't need to worry about having space for it. Audi arranged ours as part of the deal for the car.
However if I was doing it again I'd look at getting a smart charger compatable with smart tariffs like Agile Octopus. It's not much good at the moment but a while go it meant you got paid to charge, and if energy prices drop that might become a possibility again.

Hidden Environment Cost of an EV
More C02, tyre wear , damage to road surface (2.24 times more stress to road surface ) ,2,000 deaths per year etc
Love my Hybrid , completely altered my driving behaviours for the better , it such a calming ride ,prey the rise drops so all folk can grab one .
Perhaps the Welsh Government could really help the environment drag back the 33 million badly its spending on 20mph spends and other shite soft policy projects , and subsidy working class folk to buy one ,now that is a real green policy for the people .

Had a plug in hybrid (A3) since mid August.
Plug in because it attracts a much better BIK value than the self-charging version, saving a fortune on tax.
Charge via an standard garden 240v socket, from empty = 5 hours, so ~£2.50.
EV mode gives me ~30 miles max 80mph, goes like sh*t off a shovel. Longer motorway drives gives me ~55mpg at 75mph, similar to my last A4 diesel.
Recommended.
The car you’re driving is probably ~25% more expensive than the combustion version ,my question is , would you save more than the 25% in fuel, extra tyres etc
It seems to me unlikely.
Do you think you'd get better mpg if you stay under the speed limit?
I'm sure I would. Thank you for the question.

My Mrs hates our electric vehicle she reckons it's cold in the winter.I said it's all we need with this 20mph malarkey.
This is a CAT994A.
It burns about 1,000 liters of fuel in 12 hours, moving about 250 tons of dirt to remove the materials needed to produce ONE Tesla battery.
To make any drums you have to edit:
- 12 tons of lithium silk
- 15 tons of ore for cobalt
- 3 tons of ore per nickel,
- 12 tons of copper ore
And move 250 tons of crust.
For just - one - battery, approximately:
- 12 kg of lithium
- 30 kg of nickel
- 22 kg Manganese
- 15 kg of Kobalt
- 100 kg Kupfer
- 200 kg of aluminum, steel and plastic
And people believe in zero emissions when they drive their electric car. 🥳
"sustainability" 😂🤣

I'm not very computer literate, so could anyone help me out? I'm not sure whether Chronic Memes on Facebook is a reliable source or not.
