Vestel ECharger EVC04-AC11-T2P

Product Information

Martin Lewis: Do you have a Power of Attorney? It’s crucial protection – not just for the elderly – and more important than a will This charger, which is produced in China and licensed to Project EV in the UK, is also known as the ATESS or Growatt, which can make things confusing. This chargepoint is very small – just 17.5 cm by 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm, giving it a total size of 2,700 cm³. Pod Point has been manufacturing chargers for more than a decade, which means it was a pioneer in the burgeoning EV industry.

The machine also pairs with the Pod Point App, but this app isn’t as highly rated as most others on the App Store or Google Play – and for good reason. EO says it’s the smallest smart charger in the world, though it appears to have been overtaken by the Wallbox Pulsar Plus.

Water Heaters

If you have solar panels, you won’t have as many options as with the Zappi charger, but you can still use the app to make sure you’re using solar energy to charge your car. At one point we had a charger per every 4 or 5 EVs. Now it’s 1 per 11. And going in the wrong direction. There has been a lot of coverage even within the EV favourable media outlets. It’s becoming a problem for some people already. And that’s still a tiny tiny minority of EV cars out there. Imagine when we are talking 20M on the roads….I think early adopters can only see how it is now. Rather than imagining 5 cars all competing for one charging point. NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank to close at least 172 branches in 2023/24 – here's the full list, plus alternatives As I said I'm not arguing with the need for improved infrastructure (it is improving by the way), but I think you are exaggerating the problems with your claim that 'hundreds and hundreds' of chargers are needed at every service station, maybe I am missing something but I don't see why this many will actually be needed. All the chargers on this list are 7 kW fast models, giving your car 25 miles of range for every hour of charge – and this is your best choice.

Quote "I pay 5p / 7.5p etc per unit for my overnight charge" - How long do you think cheap rate will exist for overnight? It is cheap now because typically demand overnight is about 10-20GW less than daytime but as we get more EV's charging overnight, that balance will swing the other way and we will end up using more at night than daytime so the cost will be the same as the day rate - currently heading upwards above 30p a unit. That's about 4-6 times that cheap rate you enjoy now - may even end up more expensive at night because there is no solar.The green light will flash for up to 10 minutes during the randomised delay stage. The RFID card can override this stage if used again. Plug in the charging lead into the EV charging station and your vehicle. Please refer to the vehicle’s handbook if you’re having trouble with this. Firstly, it's the second-largest machine on this list, at 13,200 cm³. That's around half the size of the Andersen A2, but it’s still big. Its subtle nature is complemented by the fact that it’s one of an increasing number of electric vehicle (EV) chargers that don’t need an earth rod.

This is the challenge for infrastructure…it’s fine now for early buyers. It becomes less fine unless the infrastructure improves in line with adoption. And we know already it isn’t. Use the same method you started the charge with to end it. For example if you started with the RFID card, end it with the RFID card. I don't mean travelling over 100 miles without stopping is extreme, just that for most people it's not really an issue as they can have a coffee/lunch/ explore or whatever. Its Solo 3 has some useful features, like auto power balancing, which alters your charging speed to ensure your home isn’t overloaded.All you are doing is repeating that infrastructure needs to keep improving, and needs to improve more than it is - I don't see anyone arguing with that. But I don't see how you arrived at hundreds of chargers being needed at service stations which was your original claim. Any chance you might shed some light on how you arrived at this number? Just to be clear I'm not anti-EV, I'd love a Tesla Model X as I said in an earlier thread but I am pro-EV-truths and I think this thread is actually helping with some of the topics being discussed like this and helping some ultra pro-EV people just be a bit more honest about things... anyways, I'd like some engagement on.... Obviously there is not much anyone can do if the ability to charge a car exists cheaply but people don't take advantage (e.g outside 3-pin plug on a separate circuit costs a few hundred pounds - also useful for any other electric items one might use outside). As for freedom, people can already live and visit where they want; they just tend to want to live close to work and shop close to home and so on.
