    I am looking to install an EV home charger for one vehicle, but possibly two in the future. I have a second unused (but still active) mains supply cable from a time when we had electric heaters. Unfortunately the separate meter on this supply was removed a few years back. It would seem to be...

    How to position CT clamps correctly so solar does not interfere with EV charger.

    We recently had a solar panel system put it in. The solar batteries were delayed and put in after, at which point it became clear that the CT clamp for the solar system was positioned on the wrong cable. The inverter was reading the power generated by the solar system and including it in the...

    EV charger hacked for fun

    Just saw this on BBC news: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-61006816 Now re-directing to a pr0n site looks like a prank rather than a serious attempt to cause michief, but it got me wondering if chargers with internet access are being abused in more cunning ways?
