Anyone Had An Electric Vehicle Charge Point Installed At Home?

  1. Mine did, but it was because I went onto a cheap overnight tarrif with my supplier at the time (Scottish Power iirc). I plugged the car in at any time, but set the timer in the CARWINGS setting to charge only after 11pm.

    Work also have charging points which were free to use, so if I only used these, I was basically getting free fuel. :)

  2. I suppose in an ideal world you would have roof solar panels that allows you to charge the car for nothing and then sell the excess electric back to the grid?

  4. I generate my electricity by mounting my motorbike rear wheel on a treadmill. :thinkingface:
    Everyone knows the best way is to use solar panels to power a UV bulb, which in turn provides light to the solar panels. Infinite clean energy. :thinkingface:

  7. An ideal world is everyone owning a V8/V10/V12 car, petrol is 40p a litre, we all own at least 2x Ducati's , everyone gets paid squillions and all Prius/leaf etc drivers work and live on one of the UK's islands far far away from normal people!!!

  8. V12 Used to
    V6 2off
    Petrol... don't care
    Ducati 4off (5 if @rob lewis accepts my more than generous offer).
    Money - Adequate (in the Bentley use of the word).

    I just raise the draw bridge a feed the crocodiles to keep the poor people away.
