Yes and the software is quite entertaining! Top tip: when you come to charge the car, particularly at home, you need to turn off and turn on the charging limiter then set the charging limit to 32A. You need to do this every time you charge. Volvo has confirmed this is a problem which will be...

Morning all, I'm wondering about changing Octopus tariffs and hope the wisdom/experience of the forum might help! We now have two EVs (ID.3 and EX30), a small-ish solar panel setup (max monthly yield in 2023 was 556 kWh) and a 10kWh battery (Huawei - quite inflexible controls, so no good for...

First impressions are that the driver aids are quite unintrusive, also easy to turn off. The Volvo's cabin is a lot nicer than the ID.3. Just need to get used to the central display, can't see that being a problem tbh.

Fully electric! (Well, apart from what's in the garage...)

Huawei have a 'Back up box' for their systems which will provide power in the event of a power cut. Not clear though whether it's whole house or some circuits/sockets. I might have a chat with my installer.

Forgot the cost of going from the original setup of one battery to two :rolleyes: The only thing I'm not keen on is that the Huawei app/interface is quite limiting on what I can do. I had to have the installer back to set up the Octopus Go charging time for example.

We had our system installed in June '22 by Bristol-based 'We Are EV' - very happy with the installation and the system. 11 x Trina Vertex S 400W panels Huawei 3.6kW hybrid inverter Huawei Luna Battery Management System 2 x Huawei Luna 5kW batteries Total (inc. installation and scaffolding) -...

Replaced the wobbly old Caterham mirrors (mounted to the plastic door): With new Spa mirrors and aluminium bracket:

Just found out from Octopus that we can't be on the 'Octopus Go' tariff and Outgoing export scheme for 15p per kWh at the same time - it's one or the other (my partner has a VW ID.3 so 'Intelligent Octopus' isn't an option). I'm wondering if Octopus Go might be better through the winter months...

Mine is hard-wired in, with the connector sitting just under the dash on the passenger side on a tab of velcro. Reminds me, I should probably go plug it in!

When you make the sensible decision ;), perhaps consider the SV chassis, lowered floors and the taller FIA roll-bar. I'm 6'3" and the extra space/height makes things a little more comfortable.

Bought a '63 plate Supersport SV in March 2020 - no regrets at all! (And I haven't been on a track yet).

Ah! If you were a bit closer to the South West I'd have suggested Capital Network Solutions in South Wales. A good source of information is the IASME web-site (iasme.co.uk) who list all of the certification bodies. NCC are a very professional organisation, but may also have 'very professional'...

Whereabouts are you?

Not sure that the Gold conversion offer is there anymore either?

Looks like Game may have some stock.

Both on E:/, but ruunning the Launcher as admin at least started the game, until it stopped... Thanks for the tip :)

"Unable to launch RDR2.exe due to a lack of privileges on the Game Library directory." Back to the Xbox then ... (Wow, my signature is a bit out of date!)

Agreed. Don't understand why playing the Russians in the SP game should be at all interesting.
