Does going down a steep hill also regen with EV. Welsh valleys have hills that last 10 minutes just coasting
Yes, it’s possible to gain % on battery SOC by going downhillDoes going down a steep hill also regen with EV. Welsh valleys have hills that last 10 minutes just coasting
My EV, Polestar 2, only uses the friction brakes when the braking force exceeds 0.9GSo people will generally brake gentler with an EV as they will actively try to use regeneration to get to a standstill. For example I don't use my brakes, from one week to the next.
The tyres still have to slow down the heavier car though. Regardless of how the wheels are being slowedSo people will generally brake gentler with an EV as they will actively try to use regeneration to get to a standstill. For example I don't use my brakes, from one week to the next.
I compared the Tesla Model 3 to the BMW M3 as it was the closest match.

That’s simply not true.

‘My new solar panels and batteries should save me £1,600 this year’
More Britons are making their homes greener and cutting bills – here’s how the costs add upwww.theguardian.com
Rebecca Dibb-Simkin has said her forecastI have the money ready and waiting for whomever can supply 14 panels and 16.4kwh of batteries plus everything else for £9500 lol
that would cost around £15k-20k here, here I’m getting quotes around £12.5k for 10 panels and 1*5.3kwh battery across multiple companies. Seems like a bit of a disingenuous article when that price is so far below normal quotes, at least from what I have seen where I live. Maybe it is different elsewhere. Or maybe that is what the pricing should be, it says he bought them last year.

he does acknowledge, too, his ROI is dependent on the Octopus GO tarif for home load shifting.that would cost around £15k-20k here, here I’m getting quotes around £12.5k for 10 panels and 1*5.3kwh battery across multiple companies.

Parker says a significant part of his £150-a-month savings come from the fact that he is on Octopus Energy’s Intelligent electric vehicle tariff, which also allows him to recharge his home battery system between 11.30pm and 5.30am for only 7.5p a kWh.
The new flux tariff looks to be good if you have a decent sized array and you expect to export significant amounts of energy over the summer months.
