Nice
Video of setup here
Wonder when they started collecting the detail needed for charging sessions. The app shows a rolling 31 days, can’t go back further currently
Not yet any integration with a home battery or solar - you setup a Home and Other £/kWh rate.

A whole new way of thinking about what a car actually is
The most relaxing thing I've ever driven
All things to all men
It's fabulous
An old review I think, but it's been published today by AmazonPrime on their youtube channel, so it's getting lots of new views.
Only EV, PHEV (and FCEV if viable by then) sold from 2030 onwards. And only EV ( + FCEV) sold from 2035.
All non-plug-in hybrids join standard ICE cars and vans and stop being sold from 2030

...and for those who haven't been, a quick video of the BP Chargemaster / Polar new HQ in Milton Keynes, where they have two of their new 150kW chargers (still free for Polar Plus subscribers)
I used to...
I use both
However, both could do better wrt keeping their charger info updated.
Plugshare have started to get a bit heavy-handed IMO (forgetting where their data comes from - community users) and hiding Superchargers they don't want to put live yet, by assigning invalid connectors to them -...
1st episode was on tonight (yorkshire regional BBC1), and all 4 are on iPlayer from tonight for a month
BBC iPlayer - Powering Britain
1. Biomas
2. Gas
3. Nuclear
4. Wind
Now 58p/kWh. Still quite a bit cheaper than the standard 69p/kWh, but makes Maingau the cheapest now.
Plugshare not letting me update the description with these new prices, do they have a per-day edit limit? Or proximity requirement?
Thought a graph of tonight's journey will help illustrate.
I did it in two legs, with a stop for a pee and a bit of netflix in the middle while it refilled. Both legs were traffic-free motorway driving
The first hour (18:00 - 19:00) I "made good progress" ~70mph average. You'll see it used...
Hi guys,
Do you want any help optimising the load times of the forum? I'm generally getting load times > 2 seconds, ~1 second TTFB which may suggest database optimisation would be most beneficial.
Need help enabling/reviewing the slow-query log, adding/removing indexes etc?
The next biggest...
With regards to home/work charging, what charging routine/schedule do you use now, and what would you like to do?
i.e. do you currently just plug it in when it's getting low and leave it to fill up to your SoC % target, or do you charge only during off-peak for cost and/or sympathetic grid load...
I'd noticed that regen was coming back to full capacity a lot quicker the last couple of mornings, which is nice.
The graphs below are from 2019.40.2 (top) and 2019.40.50 (bottom). You can see that the inside/outside temp was the same on both days, both times the car was plugged into the UMC...

Turned on climate to defrost the car, at its peak it was using 13kW, even if you have max 11kW home charger it's going to eat into your battery for a bit.
That lasted for about 9 minutes, and then it gradually crept down to a normal 2kW
This was all while the car is not plugged in, it doesn't...
Sorry, I know some haven’t got 2019.36 yet, but this is next

What do we think, a good alternative to Supercharging when out and about?
https://polar-network.com
Break even versus Supercharging seems to be about 90kWh / month if you use their 50kW chargers. Anything more than that and it's cheaper than SuperCharging
So I pull in tonight. Pretty busy, 5/12 in use
oh, no, it’s 6 in use
